History

The palace was built in 1766, and soon became property of the Miani family, who sold it to the Coletti, then the Giusti. Along with the adjacent Ca' d'Oro, it houses portions of the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro. The architect Antonio Visentini designed the four story palace with three ground floor niches displaying statues, flanked by doric pilasters. [1]

Architecture

The principal façade of Palazzo Giusti is greenish and was designed by Antonio Visentini with various style remainders to the Palladian architecture, such as: a high number of monofora openings instead of the polifora, which normally distinguish the noble (living) floors, the three water doors which are delimited by Doric order pillars and also are separated by three niches containing 18-century human[ citation needed ] statues, a remarkable eaves line inscribed in a lowered arch, an important attic room facing two terraces with a small column balustrade. [2] The last noble floor hosts two circular niches surrounded by just as much tympana.
