La Sala delle Arti
This is a series of rooms, originally the Casino Sagredo, decorated with stucco work and bas relief depicting birds, exotic animals, symbols of the arts and trophies. The decoration is some of the best early 18th century Venetian work, and was created by local artists Carpoforo Mazzetti and Abbondio Stazio in 1718. The six rooms of the Casino have been turned into two elegant suites, complete with living room, named after the subjects in the artwork.
The decoration of the alcove is currently preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Abbondio Stazio (Massagno 1663 – Venice 1757)
After a period of training as a stucco artist in Rome, Abbondio Stazio, worked mainly in Venice. His works, including stucco and decorations, present decorative and figurative elements treated in an extremely plastic and vigorous manner with clear late Baroque influences. The decoration of Palazzo Sagredo is in a completely different style, the stucco is lighter and more minute. This signed and dated work was created with the collaboration of his pupil Carpoforo Mazzetti Tencalla.
