An engraving by Luca Carlevarijs commemorates the vast and sumptuous garden that originally separated Palazzo Zane in San Stin from the casino and the building commissioned by Marino Zane to house the family's rich library. Designed by Antonio Gaspari, the forms of this Venetian noble casino bear witness to the persistence, in the late 17th century, of a character of extreme compositional balance, alongside a clearly celebratory intent, in a fruitful dialogue between melodramatic culture and organized nature. The logic of proportion, functional to an architecture designed as a music room, is reflected in the definition of a natural spatiality, where sculptures and geometric plant borders stage the garden as a permanent spectacle.

Abstract
An engraving by Luca Carlevarijs commemorates the vast and sumptuous garden that originally separated Palazzo Zane in San Stin from the casino and the building commissioned by Marino Zane to house the family's rich library. Designed by Antonio Gaspari, the forms of this Venetian noble casino bear witness to the persistence, in the late 17th century, of a character of extreme compositional balance, alongside a clearly celebratory intent, in a fruitful dialogue between melodramatic culture and organized nature. The logic of proportion, functional to an architecture designed as a music room, is reflected in the definition of a natural spatiality, where sculptures and geometric plant borders stage the garden as a permanent spectacle.
