THE FRESCOES by Pietro LONGHI in the monumental staircase with the FALL OF THE GIANTS (1734) in Palazzo MOROSINI Sagredo -- VENEZIA

Speranza

These are beautiful things.

The PALAZZO SAGREDO obviously belonged to the SAGREDO family.

In fact, it was first owned by the MOROSINI family.

It was acquired by NICOLO SAGREDO only in 1661.

It was later owned by GERARDO SAGREDO, who had inherited from his uncle ZACCARIA.

The frescoes include:

THE FALL OF THE GIANTS
GIOVE
more giants.
