History edit
The five-storey palace was erected in the 19th century at the site of the former Fontego dei Persiani, which was razed in 1830.[1][2] The Ruzzini family was a patrician family originally emigrating from Constantinople around 1100. Marco Ruzzini was famous for defeating the Genoese in Negroponte in 1358. Carlo Ruzzini became Doge in 1732.[3]
