Palazzo Dolfin Manin - Venice

Palazzo Dolfin Manin is located on Riva del Carbon along the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy.  The current structure was built in 1536 by Jacopo Sansovino for the Dolfin family.  The construction merged together two older buildings and lasted through 1547.  In later years the palace was owned by Ludovico Manin, Doge of Venice from 1789 to 1797.  His rule ended in May 1797 when Napoleon's troops entered Venice.  Manin surrendered, officially becoming the last Doge of Venice, ending the Republic of Venice, and submitting the Venetians to French rule.  He lived here, in seclusion from 1797 until his death on October 24, 1802.
