Glass appears throughout Ca’ Foscari in a variety of forms. In the entrance hall of Palazzo Foscari, elegant opaque glass wall lights clearly recall the style of the renowned glassmaker Venini.
Another remarkable glass fixture is the window of the Aula Baratto, overlooking the widest stretch of the Grand Canal. This space was enhanced through the work of Carlo Scarpa.
The tours are led by our student guides, who will engage visitors with stories from the places they experience every day.
They will accompany visitors starting from the courtyard of Ca’ Foscari, continuing to the piano nobile and the beautiful Aula Mario Baratto, and ending at the Niobe Memorial Shrine, a poignant site that serves as a symbol of remembrance for Ca’ Foscari community members who lost their lives in war.
