Right you are, Bert; or Fontana Rezzonico, if you really wanted to be picky: from Wikipedia: "The palace was erected in the 17th century by the Fontana family. The palace was occupied in the late 1600s by the Rezzonico family, recently added to the Venetian Patriciate. The larger Ca' Rezzonico palace was under construction. In 1693, Carlo Rezzonico, the future Pope Clement XIII was born here. After the fall of the Venetian Republic, the palace was purchased by the banker Johann Conrad Reck, then sold to the Levi,[1] and then Sullam families."
This is such a lovely photo, it really brings our visit to Venice alive again for me.
