Palazzo De Gleria is an 18th-century historic house located in Carnia in Povolaro, a hamlet of the municipality of Comeglians; the only example of a Venetian villa present in the Carnic territory. The building was built by a family of merchants (cramars) and bankers who alternated their residence between Munich and Carnia so it presents an interesting mixture of Venetian and Bavarian architectural styles. The main fa\u00e7ade is characterized by the entrance portal and the openings above in axis. The wooden doorway, with iron fanlight, is surrounded by a round-arched stone cornice. On the apex of the keystone , there is a shield in which the initials of the first owner B(iasio) D(e) G(leria) , the date of construction of the building \u201c1768\u201d and the cramars symbol are carved. On either side of the French window under the gable are 2 clock faces, one of which is painted, hence also the name of \u201cHouse of Clocks.\u201d<\/p>\n
The interior is compartmentalized according to the traditional scheme of Venetian villas with a passing hall and side rooms. On the ground floor there is a vast room with vaulted ceiling formerly used as a fondaco. A typical 18th-century Carnic kitchen with central hearth and furnishings is preserved. On the second floor there are some rooms with Venetian terrazzo flooring. The building is surrounded by an entrance courtyard with 18th-century cobblestones and an Italianate garden with original stone furnishings. Other buildings from the same period can be seen in the small hamlet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1865,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-1937","dimora","type-dimora","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festdsfvg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dimora\/1937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festdsfvg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dimora"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festdsfvg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dimora"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.festdsfvg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.festdsfvg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
