San Marco 1093/A - 30124 - Venice 
Double room |
 Description:
The 3 star Hotel San Gallo is located in a characteristic
campo (square), called San Gallo or Rusolo, which has an ancient well
and curb and is very close to St Mark’s Square. This is the area
where the Orseolo family estate stood in the Tenth Century; one member
of this ancient noble family, Pietro I Orseolo, was elected Doge (chief
magistrate) between the years 976 and 978. The area was also used as a
refuge for pilgrims from the Holy Land, and was later turned into a hospice
for poor women (who were called the “Orsoline”).
Evidence of this is shown by the small Church of the Oratorio San Gallo
which was reduced to its present size in 1703. Next to this, the modern
building of the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro now stands on the site which
used to be the Casa dei Francesconi, where the famous sculptor Antonio
Canova died in 1822.
As far back as the beginning of the 1800s, the San Gallo Hotel was mentioned
in the main guides of the time as a peaceful refined hotel. The building
shows a combination of sixteenth and nineteenth century styles, and was
completely renovated in 1995.
