This nice palace on the Canal Grande was owned by the rich Pesare family which stopped the monopoly of transport of the wagons that must cross the River Brenta. Today the palace is the home of the International Gallery of Modern Art. The palace was built by Baldassarre Longhena from 1628 to 1710.

The Canal Grande is the main water road in Venice and one of the symbol of the town. It crossing the city from its north-westernly corner up to the south-easternly one. It begins near Piazzale Roma, the entrance point to the city from mainland and leads to Piazza San Marco and to the lagoon, in front of the isle of Giudecca. On both sides of the canal there were many watermills powered by tides, the wool and silk factories, the old dockyards of the Republic. By the years the sides of Canal Grande became a residential area and on its sides had been built the palaces of the most important noble families in Venice.
