Palazzo Barbarigo della Terrazza
The Palazzo Barbarigo dalla Terrazza is a Renaissance-style palace on the Grand Canal, across the Rio San Polo from the Palazzo Cappello Layard and adjacent to the Palazzo Pisani Moretta in the sestiere of San Polo, in Venice, Italy. In 2015, it housed the Centro Tedesco di Studi Veneziani.[1]

History
The patrician Daniele Barbarigo commissioned the palace from the architect Bernardin Contin, and construction took place during 1566-1570. The Barbarigo collection that included a number of Titian paintings was sold to czars during the 1850s, and is now displayed in the Hermitage. Some of the renaissance decoration of some rooms is still in place.[2] Known for a large terrace overlooking the Grand Canal
gollark: I use Arch Linux, which is rolling release (there are no fixed versions of the distro, you just update your packages whenever they get updated), very flexible (you install it manually, choosing partition layout, DE, extra software, etc), and has the AUR, a giant collection of user-packaged software.
gollark: Plus different stuff for managing services.
gollark: Many of them have different sets of available packages and stuff, or different package managers, or different desktop environments (you can usually swap them, though).
gollark: There are quite significant differences between distros, actually.
gollark: But I don't think it's the most common or easy distro.
