Flangini Palace - Virtual Tour 360°

Palazzo Flangini is a palace in Venice, located in the Cannaregio district overlooking the Grand Canal. It is located next to the Church of San Geremia and not far from Palazzo Labia.

Palazzo Flangini was built in the 17th century by the architect Giuseppe Sardi, a disciple of Baldassarre Longhena. Belonging to the Flangini family of Cypriot origin, after the death of the last descendant, Cardinal Ludovico Flangini, the palace passed to the Panciera family.

The building has a long and narrow facade but the asymmetry of the façade is clearly visible. The architect Giuseppe Sardi wanted a subdivision into three horizontal orders for the main facade to give it a sense of symmetry, but for mysterious reasons he never managed to give the very symmetry he was looking for so much.

On the façade facing the Grand Canal, it has a water portal decorated with two male figures languidly resting on the arch, two noble floors with single and four-light lateral windows supported by composite and Ionic semi-columns which are joined by continuous protruding and decorated balconies with arched heads.

Inside it preserves architectural elements of great value together with precious decorations of the eighteenth century. The portego is completely moved to the left, like that of Ca 'Tron: in this case, however, the windows are unable to hide the construction differences.

There are many stories and legends that can be heard about the evident asymmetry of Palazzo Flangini: in fact, the entire right wing is missing. Palazzo Flangini should be almost twice as wide: in fact it appears tall and asymmetrical in the arrangement of doors and windows.

The most accredited theory is the one supported by those who say that the building has a missing wing because the Flangini family never managed to buy the adjoining house, while the story in which it is said that Palazzo Flangini was inherited by two brothers is only a legend. in serious discord between them and that was demolished by one of the two of the half due to him, to spite the other.
