Corte dell'Albero
San Marco
Venice, October 2012

“This irregularly shaped courtyard opens out among tall palazzi; among them are Casa Nardi, an interesting example of a housing complex in the Venetian-Byzantine style (by G. Alessandri and V. Fantucci, 1913) and, toward the Grand Canal, a. 3870, Palazzo Sandi, by Domenico Rossi (1720), with a splendid fresco, in the hall of the main floor, or ‘piano nobile’, by the young G.B. Tiepolo, Story of Orpheus.” (Corte dell’Albero, netguides.eu)
