ACP - PALAZZO FRANCHETTI Palazzo Franchetti, with an historical facade and a unique garden on the Canal Grande in Venice, is close to Ponte dell'Accademia and it is the preferred exhibition's venue of ACP. Built in the second half of the XV Century by a historical venetian family, Palazzo Franchetti is one of the most prestigious examples of gothic architecture in Venice. Palazzo Franchetti is located in the heart of the area where many of the most important venetian cultural organizations are. The main floor of Palazzo Franchetti hosts temporary exhibitions. Its restoration has maintained the original layout of the rooms using Rubelli fireproof silks, reminiscent of the tapestries used in the ancient noble residences of Venice. Each room is lighted up with Murano chandeliers, with some impressive ones: the chandeliers in the rooms viewing Canal Grande are the most important. Palazzo Franchetti's garden was created around 1860 by the architect Giambattista Meduna. Its original unique feature is its great extent from Canal Grande to Campo Santo Stefano - occupying more than 1500 square meters - which Meduna was able to get buying all the buildings in the surroundings. The 2004 renovation reorganized the existing floor plans and made the garden the key passage to diversify the fruition of the different areas.
