The Valmarana family, an aristocratic lineage from Vicenza with ties to Venetian patrician status, is associated with the palace. They derive their name from the village of Valmarana in the Berici Hills, where they held fiefs from the bishop of Vicenza.

Architecture

The first floor features architraves, while the second floor features a squared arch. The facade opens to the center with overlapping three-light windows, flanked by single lads.
