Ca' d' Zan #5

Great Hall from the Foyer. In his book, The Circus Kings, Henry Ringling North describes various rooms in Ca’ d’ Zan. Here is how he recalled the Great Hall: You came into an immense three-story hall with a balcony running around three sides of it. Its pavement consisted of squares of black and white marble and its high, cambered ceiling, from which hung the biggest Venetian glass chandelier I ever saw, was made of carved, pecky cypress framing a stained-glass skylight.
