TEC4575484: La Ca d'Oro, Grand Canal in Venice (Italy). In 1412, Marino Contarini built a palace, which he expected to surpass beautifully all the other palaces in Venice. He entrusted the construction of it to the Lombard Matteo Raverti, then to the Venetian Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bon. The marble facade is then almost entirely covered with gold. From where the nickname gives by the Venetians the Ca d'Oro, the house of gold. / Bridgeman Images
