Ca' d'oro (English spelling)

Japanese: カ・ドーロ(英語表記)Ca’ d’oro
Ca' d'oro (English spelling)
A typical Venetian Gothic mansion facing the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Built between 1421 and 1440, it was nicknamed Ca' d'Oro (Golden Palace) because its eaves and cornices were painted gold (now peeling). The right side has a flat wall with square windows, while the left half is an open colonnade with gorgeous decorations made using stone carving techniques. The asymmetrical facade is exceptional for a Venetian residence of the time, but it is unclear whether this is due to interruptions in construction or was part of the original plan.

Japanese:
イタリア,ベネチアの大運河に面して立つ,ベネチア・ゴシック様式を代表する邸宅。1421‐40年建造。軒先と軒飾が黄金色に塗装されていた(現在は剝落)ため,〈カ・ドーロ〉(〈金の館〉の意)と呼ばれるようになった。平坦な壁に方形の窓が開く右側部分に対し,左半分は石彫技術を駆使した華麗な装飾をもつ開放的な柱廊である。左右非対称な正面の構成は当時のベネチア住宅として例外的であるが,それが工事の中断によるものか,当初の計画であったかはさだかでない。
