For a hundred years, the Casino Zane, built between 1695 and 1697 in the San Stin district not far from the Basilica dei Frari, housed entertainments for the Zane family, who lived in the nearby Palazzo Zane. The main palace (now a training school, the Scuola Livio Sanudo) was separated from the Palazzetto by a French formal garden. A building next to the Palazzetto housed the library; today it does no longer exist.

In 1682 the workshop of Baldassare Longhena^[2] – the most distinguished Venetian architect of the Baroque period, who designed Ca’ Pesaro and Ca’ Rezzonico – completed the restoration of the Palazzo Zane commissioned by Domenico Zane (d. 1672).^[3] After his death, his nephew Marino inherited the property and an important collection of books and paintings. Marino Zane commissioned the construction of a casino (now the Palazzetto) and a library to house the collection he inherited, which he subsequently enlarged.

The architect Antonio Gaspari,^[4] a former pupil of Longhena, was given carte blanche to design the casino. On his death, his assistant Domenico Rossi carried on the work with the help of renowned artists. The interior decoration is attributed to the stucco decorator Abbondio Stazio; the woodwork, including the ornate wooden balustrade above the main salon, is from Andrea Brustolon’s workshop. The frescoes in the house have recently been attributed to Sebastiano Ricci.^[5]

The palace is listed on the National Register of Historic Monuments. After consultations in 2006, restoration work started in 2007, the aims of the Fondation Bru being to restore the building in its original spirit and to create a venue for music. The building, with an overall area of eight hundred square meters, is on three levels. Its windows look out over a canal on one side and over the garden on the other. The sixteen rooms include a concert hall with a seating capacity up to 100 seats. After the completion of the restoration works, the Palazzetto has been equipped with a sound-proofed rehearsal studio.
