Légende
Palazzo Ca' Vendramin Calergi, Venice, Italy, 1883. The Loredan family commissioned the architect Mauro Codussi, (ca. 1440-1504) and works started in 1481. After Codussi's death, the construction was continued by the Lombardo family, a family of Venetian sculptors and architects, and completed in 1509. After becoming the property of Guglielmo Gonzaga, (1538-1587), Duke of Mantua, it was acquired by Vittore Calergi in 1589. In 1739 the palace was inherited by Niccolò Vendramin, a Venetian nobleman. In 1844 the building was acquired by the Italian princess Marie-Caroline of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (1798-1870), Duchess of Berry. During the turmoil of the unification of Italy, she had to sell the palace to her grandson, Prince Henry of Bourbon-Parma (1851-1905), Count of Bardi. In 1937 Count Lucchesi-Palli sold it to Giuseppe Volpi (1877-1947), Count of Misurata. The German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883) died in the palace, due to a heart attack he suffered on 13 Feb 1883, during one of his visits. From "La Ilustración Española y Americana" (The Spanish and American Illustration), 1883.
