Ahead you can admire Ca’ Rezzonico, today Museum of Venice’s 18th century art, and one of the largest palaces on the Grand Canal. The ground floor and first floor were built by Baldassarre Longhena who died in 1682; the Bon family, who owned the palace, found itself in dire economic straits and had to sell it to the Rezzonico family, who had Giorgio Massari finish constructing it in the mid-18th century. The house had various famous owners, among which the son of Robert Browning, who incidentally died here during a visit in 1889. Today the museum is famous for its wonderful frescoes by Gianbattista Tiepolo, symbol of Venetian 18th century painting.
