Palazzo Pisani Moretta
Last updated on September 4, 2026Overview
Palazzo Pisani Moretta is a Gothic-Baroque palace on the Grand Canal, between Palazzo Tiepolo and Palazzo Barbarigo della Terrazza. Built in the 15th century by the Bembo family and later expanded by the Pisani Moretta family into its present 18th-century form, it is known today for its Tiepolo ceiling, Murano glass chandeliers, and the masquerade ball it hosts each year during Venice's Carnival.
Visit Responsibly
As a privately owned and occupied palace, opportunities to see the interior are limited and largely tied to ticketed events -- viewing the facade from the Grand Canal respects its status as a private residence outside those occasions.
How to See It
Palazzo Pisani Moretta sits on the Grand Canal in San Polo, reachable on foot from the San Tomà vaporetto stop or by water taxi.
Interior visits are generally limited to the annual Il Ballo del Doge masquerade and occasional private events -- tickets and details are published on the palace's own website ahead of Carnival season each year.
