The Palazzo Priuli Stazio is a Baroque architecture palace located near San Giacomo dell'Orio in the sestiere of Santa Croce in Venice, Italy.
Previously, the place had been property of the Suriàn family, admitted to Venetian aristocracy in 1648. The family originally had moved from Rimini in the 15th century, and included the physician Giacomo; Grand Chancellor Andrea; Bernardo, archbishop of Corfu in 1482; and an Antonio, patriarch of Venice in 1504. The aristocratic branch was soon extinguished by 1679.
In 1534, the Suriàn family sold this palace to Marcantonio Prezzato, a rich merchant from Bergamo, who moved to Venice around 1537. Agostino, the son of Marcantonio commissioned reconstruction using designs of Jacopo Sansovino. In 1636, a son of Agostino, also named Marcantonio, in turn sold the palace to Lorenzo and Bernardo Stazio; in 1659, the Stazio family joined the aristocracy. In 1701, by virtue of Elisabetta Stazio's marriage to Michiele Priuli-Renier, the palace was ultimately inherited in the 19th century, by two sisters: Elisabetta Labia Priuli and Orsola Priuli Maccarani, both living in Rome. In 1859, the palace was deeded to the Comune of Venice to serve as quarters of the Municipal Guards.
The interior decoration has since been dispersed. In the 18th century, the ground floor had, in the style of Alessandro Vittoria, a bust of a bearded man; likely a portrait of someone from the Priuli family. There were also once four oil canvases located in the piano nobile depicting illustrious members of the Priuli Family:

The House of Giustiniani was the name of a prominent Italian family which originally belonged to Venice, but also established itself in Genoa, and at various times had representatives in Naples, Canary Islands, Corsica and in the islands of the Archipelago, where they had been the last Genoese rulers of the Aegean island of Chios, which had been a family possession for two centuries until 1566. The family claimed descent from Byzantine emperor Justinian I.
The Bolognese School of painting, also known as the School of Bologna, flourished between the 16th and 17th centuries in Bologna, which rivalled Florence and Rome as the center of painting in Italy. Its most important representatives include the Carracci family, including Ludovico Carracci and his two cousins, the brothers Agostino and Annibale Carracci. Later, it included other Baroque painters: Domenichino and Lanfranco, active mostly in Rome, eventually Guercino and Guido Reni, and Accademia degli Incamminati in Bologna, which was run by Lodovico Carracci. Certain artistic conventions, which over time became traditionalist, had been developed in Rome during the first decades of the 16th century. As time passed, some artists sought new approaches to their work that no longer reflected only the Roman manner. The Carracci studio sought innovation or invention, seeking new ways to break away from traditional modes of painting while continuing to look for inspiration from their literary contemporaries; the studio formulated a style that was distinguished from the recognized manners of art in their time. This style was seen as both systematic and imitative, borrowing particular motifs from the past Roman schools of art and innovating a modernistic approach.
