Using unpublished documents, the author further elaborates the history of the Contarini degli Scrigni palaces in Venice. It is now possible to distinguish at least three different phases of construction: a late 15th century gothic palaces, a second palace from the end of the 16th century, and an annex building from the early 17th century. Two drawings from Andrea Palladio’s workshop which were hitherto identified with palazzo Thiene Bonin-Longare at Vicenza in fact were made for the second construction phase of palaces Contarini degli Scrigni. Palladio’s project was not realized, but the existence of (now) at least three different proposals for the Contarini palace raises new questions about the authorship of the second construction phase, previously attributed to Vincenzo Scamozzi, but more probably built by a Venetian “proto” inspired by Palladio’s proposals. |
