Palazzo Soderini is immersed
in one of the most enchanting areas of Venice, can be reached
from S.Marco’s square through
Riva degli Schiavoni in few minutes, one of the most famous
and enjoyable Venetian promenades. It is located in a extremely
peaceful place,
off the beaten track, throbbing with daily folk life and filled
with true Venetian breath. Placed in a strategic area and thanks
to the public transport near at hand, it allows its guests to
reach quickly all town artistic sites and its many picturesque
islands. Palazzo Soderini faces campo Bandiera
e Moro; named after the Venetians Attilio and Emilio Bandiera
and Domenico Moro, who in 1844 were executed for leading an
abortive revolt against the Bourbons, it is one of the most
characteristic open-air places in town, rich in precious witnesses
of Venetian art and history: in the very old church of San Giovanni
in Bragora, probably best known to Venetians as the baptismal
church of Antonio Vivaldi, are preserved two breath-taking paintings
by Cima da Conegliano: a SS. Helen and Constantine and a Baptism
on the high altar. Nowadays some rooms of the famous martyrs’
historical abode house Palazzo Soderini. The family management,
pleased to satisfy all guest’s needs, guarantees a cosy
and attentive atmosphere |
