The palazzo built for the Pesaro family in the mid-fifteenth century facing Campo San Beneto, was originally known as Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei. In 1898 it was bought by the famous artist, fashion, stage and light designer Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo (1871 Granada – Venice 1956), who carefully renovated the old building, estalling his studio in its huge attic. The palazzo became his permanent home in 1907.
