The House of the Three EyesThe House of Three Eyes,at Giudecca,Venice, is a building of the twentieth century, a splendid testimony of the Venetian architecture, the result of different architectural trends, from traditional Venetian warehouse to the avant-garde trend of the twentieth century.The House of Three Eyes
was designed and built by the Italian artist Mario De Maria,(Marius Pictor, Bologna, 1852 – Venice, 1924),which between 1912 and 1924 made here his new Venetian home. (Here’s a wonderful Venetian moonlight painting by de Maria that hangs in the Musée d’Orsay.)

The building has three floors, but stressed the importance of the main floor, with three huge (oci, Venetian for the eyes), large lancet windows overlooking the Giudecca Canal and the basin of San Marco.All the palace look like the little replica of the Doge’s Palace that stares right in front of it.palazzo ducale
On the second floor,on the central part,must be noted the presence of a double lancet window ,framed by neo-Gothic decorations.The House of Three Eyes, was declared in 2007 by the Regional Directorate for Cultural Heritage and Landscape of the Veneto: “well of historical and artistic interest.”
