[2] Originally in the Gothic style, it currently has a narrower front that occupies much of the length of Campo Santo Stefano and a smaller but richer facade.
The richest façade is the one that looks towards the church of Santo Stefano formed by a majestic stone front that recalls the style of the long side, by Giovanni Gerolamo Grapiglia.
To create this entrance hall, with the double staircase leading to the main floor, the external portico between two buildings was closed with a wall, and one can still see the well with the Mocenigo coat of arms inside.
The splendid monumental staircase, which recalls the Scala dei Giganti of Palazzo Ducale, was carried out by Antonio Abbondi.
The frescoes exalted the domestic civic and military virtues of characters from the Roman world such as: Lucrezia, Clelia, Porsenna and Muzio Scevola.
[3] Of notable interest is also the fresco by Giovanni Carlo Bevilacqua entitled Napoleonic Allegory; this painting was recently restored after the attempt to destroy it by the Germans in 1814.
