700'S AREA MUSEUM CARD
Ca' Rezzonico, Ca' Mocenigo and Carlo Goldoni's House
VERSIONE ITALIANA
CA' REZZONICO
 The museum of the 18th Century Art is set in one of the most beautiful palaces on the Grand Canal in Venice, Ca' Rezzonico. The Rezzonico family became part of the new aristocracy and lived in this splendid dwelling, which was completed by the architect Giorgio Massari in 1756.
The palace has been the site of the museum of the 18th Century Art since 1936; it houses art masterpieces by Tiepolo, Guardi, Longhi, Rosalba Carriera, Giambattista Piazzetta and Canaletto, as well as original furniture, elegant staircases and large rooms, as the fabulous dancing hall.
On the third floor, you can also admire a chemist's shop and a puppet-theatre, both dating back to the 18th century.
CA' MOCENIGO
 The Center for Fabric and Costume Studies took its seat in 1985 at the sumptuous Palazzo Mocenigo, which had been left to the city of Venice by Alvise Nicolò Mocenigo forty years earlier. In addition to housing a specialized library, the museum conserves an extensive collection of 18th-century fabrics, laces, dresses and suits.
Palazzo Mocenigo, like other museums exhibiting textiles and fashion, displays clothing inside glass cases on specially created mannequins. Underwriting will enable the Museum to change from time t o time the contents of these cases. The collection includes many beautiful pieces that have been stored for years and have never been seen by the public.
Since clothing sizes vary, before a new costume can be placed on exhibition, a special mannequin must be built to display it. Once a new mannequin is ready, the Museum can take down costumes currently being shown, to conserve and store them. Textiles are extremely fragile and sensitive to light. They cannot remain on exhibition for long periods of time without sustaining irreparable damage.
CARLO GOLDONI'S HOUSE
 Palazzo Centanni is a 15th century building with a pointed arch facade facing the canal and visible from Ponte San Toma with a lovely courtyard and an open air stairway. In it in 1707 was born Carlo Goldoni, the creator of modern theatre.
Upon the initiative of Aldo Ravà, an illustrious scholar of Venetian culture; a committee of distinguished citizens bought the house in 1914 and create a centre for the preservations of Goldoni’s relics.
Thus the palace became, in 1952, the Institute for Theatrical Studies with in it the theatrical section of the Library of the Correr Museum. Goldoni with his works shows us how dialect can be a language and how it helps to give currency to the theatre making it understandable by everybody and also entertaining and funny.
