Camillo Boito consulente di Giorgio Franchetti. Una lettera inedita sul restauro del porticato d’approdo della Ca’ d’Oro di Venezia

Abstract

The article analyzes the history of restoration and decoration, at the end of the nineteenth century, of the entrance porch and ground-floor mosaic of the Ca’ d’Oro Palace on the Grand Canal in Venice. A letter written in 1897 by Camillo Boito to Giorgio Franchetti, recently found, confirms the involvement of Boito, so far only mentioned in literature, on the restoration of the building.
