Ca'dario: La Malédiction D'un Palais Vénitien

0/5 ( ratings)

English If Ca'Dario's walls could speak, they would scream. Behind the candy-coloured facade of the palace young Marietta Barbaro is walled up, having wasted away in despair historian Rawdon Brown killed himself while gazing at his paintings Kit Lambert, The Whos manager, was destroyed by parties and drugs, etc. The list of the owners of this little palace leaning over the Grand Canal who experienced a tragic death is a long and bloody one. It might have ended with Woody Allen, had he not decided at the last minute not to purchase it. A great admirer of Venice, Jean-Paul Bourre exhumed the Serenissimas libraries to relate, in the form of a police inquiry, this fantasy story about this cursed 15th-century building erected over an ossuary whose motto engraved on the frontispiece marble "He who shall inhabit this place will go to wrack and ruin." French Si les murs de la Ca'Dario pouvaient parler, ils hurleraient. Derriere les facades aux couleurs de friandises, la jeune Marietta Barbaro, emmuree, s'est consumee de chagrin, l'historien Rawdon Brown s'est donne la mort face a ses tableaux, Kit Lambert, le manager des Who, s'est perdu dans les fetes et les drogues... la liste est longue, et sanglante, des proprietaires morts de facon tragique dans ce petit palais penche sur le Grand Canal. Elle faillit s'achever par Woody Allen, si celui-ci, prudent, n'avait au dernier moment renonce a son achat. Amoureux de Venise, Jean-Paul Bourre a exhume les bibliotheques de la Serenissime pour raconter, sous la forme d'une enquete, l'histoire fantastique de ce batiment maudit, construit au XVe siecle sur un ossuaire et dont la devise, gravee dans le marbre du frontispice, nous dit, en anagramme Celui qui habitera ces lieux ira a sa ruine .
