Ca' Rezzonico: Ballroom

The huge ballroom is a glittering expression of the luminous, noble, and serene spirit of eighteenth-century Venice. It was designed to welcome and astonish guests entering from the main staircase. The room retains the original frescoes by Giovanni Battista Crosato, one of the masters of the Rococo. The ceiling is painted with allegories of the four regions of the world.
