Restoring a Venetian palazzetto<\/h2>\n

Nicole Bru, who is a great lover of Venice, was delighted to discover in 2006, away from the tourist track, the discreetly charming Casino Zane. She bought this seventeenth-century palazzetto with the ambitious aim of restoring it to its former glory and returning it to its original purpose as a place devoted to music.<\/p>\n

A very special project<\/h3>\n

Dr Nicole Bru knows Venice well. She and her late husband, Jean Bru, always loved the city and felt that something should be done to reverse the ravages of time and preserve its unique atmosphere and everlasting character. Years later, having set her \u201csleuths\u201d to find a building to restore in Venice, she fell under the spell of a small palace dating from the seventeenth-century.<\/p>\n

This palazzetto, bearing the name of its original owners, the Zane family, was originally a place for entertainment, especially for listening to music. Captivated by this place steeped in history and set in a quiet part of Venice, which belonged at the time to Archduke Dominic of Habsburg. Dr Nicole Bru decided to buy it in 2006, with the prime intention of restoring it as closely as possible to its original appearance.<\/p>\n

Rediscovering the past<\/h3>\n

The restoration of the palazzetto was carried out with the dual objective of respecting its history, while meeting the safety requirements for a building intended to receive the public.<\/p>\n

It was therefore necessary first of all to trace the origins and the long history of the palazzetto, in order to rehabilitate the building in the spirit of the time. The artists who worked on the Casino Zane and its owners are part of Venetian history. The palazzetto is listed and therefore comes under the responsibility of the Soprintendenza per i Beni e Architettonici Paesaggistici di Venezia e Laguna. A study of documents in the Collato library (now in the Museo Correr) brought to light the following information:<\/p>\n
