Palazzo Giustinian (Dorsoduro)

The Palazzo Giustinian is a palace in Venice, northern Italy, situated in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal next to Ca' Foscari.

It is among the best examples of the late Venetian Gothic[citation needed] and was the final residence of Princess Louise of Artois.

Behind the façade, they are separated by an alley which, through a sottoportego, or portico-tunnel, connects to the central portal.

At the piano nobile they form a six-arches arcade with an interwoven motif of multi-lobes circles.

Since then, personalities such as painter Natale Schiavoni,[1] German composer Richard Wagner (who wrote the second act of Tristan und Isolde here between 1858 and 1859), the last Duchess of Parma, Louise d'Artois, and Hungarian violinist Franz von Vecsey have lived here.
