In 1310, the previous building was branded with the so-called "stigma", reserved for traitors of the state because their owners took part in the failed conspiracy of Bajamonte Tiepolo against the Republic of Venice.
[3] Among the illustrious men who stayed in the palazzo was mercenary commander Bartolomeo d'Alviano in the beginning of the 16th century.
[4] The building is designed in the Venetian flowery gothic style but has different architectural motives on the various floors as it was subject to various renovations over the centuries.
The main floor maintains its original appearance with a hexafora with trefoil arches surmounted by quadrilobes and lateral single lancet windows that recall the style of the façade of Palazzo Ducale[5] while the second floor, which is a 19th-century addition, develops with seven semicircular windows.
All the facade openings have protruding balconies, except for the two side windows of the hexafora on the main floor.
