THE FRESCOES of Giovanni Antonio PELLEGRINI for the Portego and alcove of the CASINO CORRER, MURANO (1696)

Speranza

These are beautiful things.

The Casino belonged to the CORRER family, a noble Venetian family, living on the RIVA DI BIASIO.

They acquired a casino in Murano that overlooked the FONDAMENTA DEGLI ANGELI.

Angelo Correr, a knight and procurator of San Marco known as "the philosopher" acquired some houses on the island.

The frescoes include

ALESSANDRO e CLITO
ALESSANDRO e PORO
ALESSANDRO e DARIO
ENDIMIONE
