The origin of the palazzetto probably goes back to 1400 following the
arrival in Venice of the Formenti family from the island of Poveglia according
to Tassini in his Venetian Curiosity" and that it also boasts in its history a
"Grande Cancelliere della Serenissima" around 1580. The palazzetto was
originally decorated with a coat of arms of three ears of corn, symbol of the
Formenti Family, used today as our logo.
The restoration of the hotel, has been inspired by the management who also
refurbished the Hotel Panorama on the Lido to four star standard. The
restoration has been undertaken by the architect G.R. of Pantha in Padua. |
