History

The palace was built initially by the Molin family but came to the Erizzo in 1650 with the marriage of Jacopo Erizzo and Cecilia Molin. The main room was decorated by Andrea Celesti with large paintings depicting the story of Paolo Erizzo, Bailo of Negroponte, who was executed in 1470 by the Sultan Mehmet II. [1]

One member of the Erizzo family, Francesco Erizzo, was doge (1631-1646), and his tomb monument is found in San Martino. The Erizzo family died in 1847 with the death of Guido di Niccolo, but the name was taken up by Francesco Miniscalchi Erizzo, son of Luigi Miniscalchi and Marianna di Andrea Erizzo. [2] [3]
