The three large windows as well as the ornamented smaller window above them are meant to represent the loved ones of Mario de Maria, the artist who designed the house for himself and his family in 1912.

Another eye-catching building on Giudecca, built at the end of the 19th century, is Molino Stucky, originally a mill and a pasta factory, and nowadays a five-star hotel.

The name Fortuny on the left of the perspective marks the textile factory and showroom of the famed Venetian brand.
