The edifice was built between 1581 and 1588, perhaps after a design by Andrea Palladio (1508-80). This original design may have been modified during the construction by Giacomo Bozzetto (1521-83) because the building has to be enclosed in the Zitelle institute founded in 1561. The floor-plan has a circular area enclosed in a square with three smaller rectangular sections: one on top in the middle and two at the bottom on each side. The relief of the inner wall are represented.\r\n\r\nAntonio Visentini (Venice, 21 Nov 1688 – Venice, 26 June 1782) was an Italian painter, engraver, architect and theorist. He was first known as a painter and trained with the Venetian history painter Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini (1675-1741). He became known as an engraver by the end of the 1720s when he was commissioned by Joseph Smith to produce engravings of Canaletto’s views of Venice. Visentini started working as an architect in 1731, and his first theoretical work, <i>Libro di Architettura</i>, which included Rococo-influenced drawings by Pier Antonio Morelli after Visentini’s ideas, was published in 1733. \r\n\r\nHis ideas on contemporary architecture derived from Antiquity and the work of Andrea Palladio (1508-80). Later however, Visentini developed neo-Palladian and anti-Baroque ideas. Visentini and his pupils executed numerous drawings of ancient and contemporary buildings intended to disseminate exemplary architecture. He participated to the foundation of the Venetian Academy in 1755, where he became a teacher of architectural perspective in 1772.","physicalDescription":"Drawing of a plan of the Zitelle Giudecca, in pen and ink and watercolour, on paper.
