What to see in Venice Italian City of Art

Absolutely to visit is the historic Palazzo Cavalli, overlooking the Grand Canal near the Rialto Bridge. It is a three-floor, XVI century Renaissance building whose façade is characterised by a sequence of stone corbels above the base, which support the two main floors with their four- and one-mullioned windows.
