This is the garden of Palazzo Contarini dal Zaffo, in Cannaregio, the district in the north of the city. The Contarini were one of the most powerful families of the Republic, so much so that they gave Venice eight doges, that is, eight heads of state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Guardi (1712-1793), the painter who captured the air of Venice like no one else, here leaves canals and squares aside and takes us into a private place: a formal Italian garden, with flower beds cut into geometric shapes and straight paths. It is a rare subject in his work, painted in the last years of his life, between 1775 and 1785. The original is in the Art Institute of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an entrance hall or a bedroom it brings the calm of a garden by the water.
