Palazzo Da Mula Morosini and Palazzo Centani Morosini are two palaces in Venice, located in the Dorsoduro district and overlooking the Grand Canal between Palazzo Barbarigo and Ca 'Biondetti, home of Rosalba Carriera. They are located not far from Campo San Vio. The two buildings were unified by the noble and influential Morosini family of Venice.
Palazzo Da Mula Morosini was built in the 15th century as a noble residence. It belonged to the Morosini family and today it retains its function as a private residence. It was the residence of Annina Morosini, who became famous for making the palace a meeting place for nobles, artists and politicians: even Kaiser Wilhelm II was hosted here. Palazzo Centani Morosini was built at a later time.
Typical Gothic facade, Palazzo Da Mula is arranged on four floors. The ground floor, unadorned, has small single lancet windows and two round portals in the central part, opening directly onto the Grand Canal.
The two noble floors and the third floor are distinguished by the beauty of the three pointed arches (the one on the second floor with the protrusion of a small terrace). The palace has a small rear garden, bordering Palazzo Barbarigo.
An artistic element of particular value is the tapestry decoration of an internal hall.
