A thrilling auction has seen the “cursed palace” of Ca’ Dario, an iconic building on the Grand Canal, sell for an astonishing 18 million euros. The historic property is known not only for its architectural beauty, but also for the series of tragic events that have befallen its owners over the years, including controversial entrepreneur Raul Gardini during the Tangentopoli period.
The Tuscan agency Romolini Immobiliare, which collaborated with Christie’s for the sale of the building, has chosen to keep the identity of the buyer a secret. This choice raises curiosity about the future of the property and its next destination. The building extends over a surface area of 1,000 square meters and offers eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, together with a roof terrace and a garden of 170 square meters. Furthermore, it boasts two water gates that accentuate its Venetian charm. The property was listed by both Romolini Immobiliare and Dimora Italia Real Estate, official representative of Christie’s. Further mystery surrounds the last owner of the building, who purchased it in 2006 through an American company. The lack of information regarding both its current owner and its latest vicissitudes adds a veil of intrigue to this historic property.
The future of the “cursed palace” remains shrouded in mystery. With a new buyer on the horizon and the heavy legacy of its predecessors, it will be interesting to see how this iconic property will be valorized. History continues to intertwine with the present; Ca’ Dario represents not only a piece of architectural art but also a symbol of the complexities of life and human fortune. Pending further developments, history and architecture enthusiasts can only hope that the new owner will bring new life to this fascinating Venetian palace.
