Historical analysis of the building and the architectural typology of Michiel-Saccomani Palace indicate a building dating back to XVI-XVII centuries to which small volumes were added over time. The building, internally characterized by a wide rectangular room passing in an East-West direction along the axis, towards which rooms and staircases sideways open, has a square-shaped plan and develops on three levels. The main façade is recognizable by clear symmetry of openings that reflects the internal division and by the emblem of Michiel’s family representing a shield of white stone with a shape of a keystone of arch, located above the main entrance. Externally, the double-height space oriented in East-West direction is also readable by windows deployment; in the central part of the façade on the ground floor there is the main entrance including a fanlight opening with two rectangular openings adjoing and two squared windows at the same height of the attic.

STATE OF CONSERVATION

The building has preserved, over the years, the residential function even if with occasional frequency. The exterior was characterized by plasters in cocciopesto, detached and lacking in many parts; the interior underwent maintenance interventions which caused the replacement of some finishing elements. The only intact part was the attic, whose walls currently present a series of graffiti made by Austro-Hungarian military who took possession of the building during the first world war.
