Initiated in the 17th century by Baldassare Longhena and later completed on his plans by Giorgio Massari for the patrician Rezzonico family, Ca’ Rezzonico now houses the Museo del Settecento Veneziano, a fascinating collection of 18th-century paintings and decorative art, including works by Tiepolo (below), Tintoretto and Canaletto in addition to tapestries, porcelain and period furnishings. Robert Browning’s son, Pen, acquired the palazzo in 1880 and, while the elder Browning was on an extended stay at the Ca’ Rezzonico, he fell Euro ll and died.
