ZENOBIO PALACE - ARMENIAN COLLEGE
The Zenobio Palace was built at the end of the seventeenth century from a project by Antonio Gaspari, a student of Longhena. Since 1850, the palace has been owned by the Mechitarist Fathers of Venice. They set up their college here for the transmission of Armenian culture and language, active until 1997. Following extensive renovations, visitors can admire today the Sala degli Specchi and the Sala degli Stucchi (the ice rooms and the stucco hall), decorated with frescoes from the school of Tiepolo and vedut of the painter Luca Carlevarjis; These are two beautiful examples of Venetian aristocratic interiors of the eighteenth century. In summer, the gardens regularly host concerts and various events.
