Galleria Giorgio Franchetti at Ca' d'Oro

The Grand Canal's beautiful Ca' d'Oro mansion would be worth a look around even if it didn't house the art collection of a famous Italian Baron, so by visiting you really are “catching two pigeons with one bean”, as the locals say. Art lover Baron Franchetti restored the 15th-century Ca' d'Oro to its original glory and gave it to the city of Venice before his death in 1922. Your Galleria Giorgio Franchetti tickets allow you to stand before paintings by the likes of Titian, Botticini, and Tintoretto. There are also ornate bronzes, detailed tapestries and intricate sculptures.
