From the late seventeenth century, it houses works attributed to important international artists such as the frescoes by the French painter Louis Dorigny, and the marble busts of the Flemish Giusto Le Court.
Overlooking the street, immediately outside the walls, lies the complex of Villa Nave Querini known as "Ca' Nave" and Oratorio del Salvatore.
Shortly after obtaining the noble title, Bernardo Nave, an illustrious representative of the family that owned a manor house there, decided to renovate it and build a mausoleum chapel, which was built by 1689, on the site of an ancient xenodochio dedicated to San Lazzaro. The quality of the design, truly unusual for a chapel attached to a villa, led to the name of the architect Antonio Gaspari; even the decorative solution, which transforms the internal space almost into a theater hall, is of the same quality: it can in fact be considered one of the most homogeneous and precious examples of pictorial and sculptural decoration of the late seventeenth century.
