Ca' Rezzonico/Museo del Settecento Veneziano, Venice


	Ca' Rezzonico/Museo del Settecento Veneziano (Ca' Rezzonico/Museum of 18th-century Venice) Architect Baldassare Longhena's most remarkable baroque palace is the Ca' Rezzonico. Though begun in 1660 by Longhena, the palace and its decorations were not completed until the 18th century by Giorgio Massari. Now the Museum of 18th-century Venice, the piano nobile has been furnished with two G. B. Tiepolo ceiling frescoes to create a "home" of the period, if a rather outrageously ornate one. The rest of the building reproduces life for the very rich of the period. Poet Robert Browning lived here briefly in 1888–89.
