PALAZZO BEMBO – THE EXHIBITION SPACE Palazzo Bembo is one of the prestigious palaces in Venice, located at the San Marco side on the Canal Grande, in front of the Rialto bridge, between the Italian National Bank and the Venice city council palace. Palazzo Bembo was built in the fifteenth century by the noble Bembo family who were among the ancient families of the Venetian aristocracy. The family included theologians and scholars such as Pietro Bembo, elected cardinal in 1539, and Giovanni Bembo who was elected doge in 1615.
