Contarini del Bovolo is a small palazzo in Venice, built in the 15th century by the architect Giovanni Candi. During the late 15th-century renovations, the Palazzo acquired its modern Renaissance features with the construction of a multi-arch spiral staircase known as the Scala Contarini del Bovolo, meaning “of the snail.” The construction of the loggias (covered outdoor galleries, incorporating architectural arches into the design) also dates from the same period. Additionally, one can still observe the traces of the original Gothic architecture inside the building as well as on the main façade overlooking Rio di San Luca.
