Catalogue Note
The Ca' Vendramin Calergi, built in the last two decades of the fifteenth century, was the home of many prominent people through history, and is remembered as the place where composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883) died. Currently, it is home to the Venice Casino (Casinò di Venezia) and the Wagner Museum (Museo Wagner).
