298 VENETIAN INDEX.
rising over the roofs of the neighboring houses in the various
aspects of the entrance of the Grand Canal, and in the general
view of Yenice from San Clemente.
Corner della Regina, Palazzo. A late Renaissance building
of no merit or interest.
Corner Mocenigo, Palazzo, at St. Polo. Of no interest.
Corner Spinelli, Palazzo, on the Grand Canal. A graceful
and interesting example of the early Renaissance, remarkable
for its pretty circular balconies.
Corner, Raccolta. I must refer the reader to M. Lazari's
Guide for an account of this collection, which, however, ought
only to be visited if the traveller is not pressed for time.
D
Dandolo, Palazzo, on the Grand Canal. Between the Casa
Loredan and Casa Bembo is a range of modern buildings,
some of which occupy, I believe, the site of the palace once
inhabited by the Doge Henry Dandolo. Fragments of early
architecture of the Byzantine school may still be traced in
many places among their foundations, and two doors in the
foundation of the Casa Bembo itself belong to the same group.
There is only one existing palace, however, of any value, on
this spot, a very small but rich Gothic one of about 1300, with
two groups of fourth order windows in its second and third
stories, and some Byzantine circular mouldings built into it
above. This is still reported to have belonged to the family
of Dandolo, and ought to be carefully preserved, as it is one
of the most interesting and ancient Gothic palaces which yet
remain.
Danieli Albergo. See Nani.
Da Ponte, Palazzo. Of no interest.
Dario, Palazzo, I. 370; III. 211.
Dogana di Mare, at the separation of the Grand Canal from
the Giudecca. A barbarous building of the time of the Grotesque Renaissance (1676), rendered interesting only by its
position. The statue of Fortune, forming the weathercock,
standing on the world, is alike characteristic of the conceits of
the time, and of the hopes and principles of the last days of
Venice.
