The Condulmers were a Venetian family originally from Pavia. [1] Originally wealthy commoners, the different branches of the family were only slowly admitted to the Venetian nobility. Marco Condulmer, a bread merchant, is recorded in 1297. [2] In 1381, Jacopo Condulmer of the Domenico branch was ennobled for his contributions to the treasury during the War of Chioggia in 1379. [2] [3] The Fernovelli branch was ennobled with the election of one of its own, Gabriele, as Pope Eugene IV in 1431. [2] Still, in 1528, Zuan Francesco Condulmer had his name crossed out in the Libro d'Oro for his failure to prove his nobility. [4] A third branch of the family, the Angelo, was ennobled only at the time of the Cretan War (1645–1669). [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Palazzo Venezia</span> Historic palace in central Rome, Italy

The Palazzo Venezia or Palazzo Barbo, formerly Palace of St. Mark, is a palazzo (palace) in central Rome, Italy, just north of the Capitoline Hill. The original structure of this great architectural complex consisted of a modest medieval house intended as the residence of the cardinals appointed to the church of San Marco. In 1469 it became a residential papal palace, having undergone a massive extension, and in 1564, Pope Pius IV, to win the sympathies of the Republic of Venice, gave the mansion to the Venetian embassy to Rome on the terms that part of the building would be kept as a residence for the cardinals, the Apartment Cibo, and that the republic would provide for the building's maintenance and future restoration. The palace faces Piazza Venezia and Via del Plebiscito. It currently houses the National Museum of the Palazzo Venezia.

Venetian Renaissance architecture began rather later than in Florence, not really before the 1480s, and throughout the period mostly relied on architects imported from elsewhere in Italy. The city was very rich during the period, and prone to fires, so there was a large amount of building going on most of the time, and at least the facades of Venetian buildings were often particularly luxuriantly ornamented.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Venetian Renaissance</span>

The Venetian Renaissance had a distinct character compared to the general Italian Renaissance elsewhere. The Republic of Venice was topographically distinct from the rest of the city-states of Renaissance Italy as a result of their geographic location, which isolated the city politically, economically and culturally, allowing the city the leisure to pursue the pleasures of art. The influence of Venetian art did not cease at the end of the Renaissance period. Its practices persisted through the works of art critics and artists proliferating its prominence around Europe to the 19th century.
