Palazzo Giustiniani is a palace in Venice, located in the San Marco district and overlooking the Grand Canal, seat of the Venice Biennale Foundation.
The palace was built on commission of the Giustinian, one of the most illustrious families of the Venetian patriciate, in the second half of the fifteenth century, in place of a pre-existing building, in which Lorenzo Giustinian, the first patriarch of Venice, had lived in the first half of the century.
It passed to the Morosini family in the seventeenth century, until 1820, when the palace was transformed into the Albergo all'Europa, which hosted, among others, Théophile Gautier, Marcel Proust and Giuseppe Verdi.
On 19 October 1866, in a room of the Europa hotel, the French plenipotentiary general Edmond Le Bœuf signed the formal deed of sale of the Veneto, a prelude to the plebiscite of the Veneto of the following 21-22 October.
