Mocenigo Palace-Museum

This guide to the Mocenigo Palace-Museum in Venice follows Lazzaro Mocenigo, born in the family palace, who fought the Ottoman Empire through the long Cretan War, taking an arrow at Naxos and losing a finger before an enemy blow cost him an eye at the Dardanelles in 1655. It traces how he kept commanding the Venetian fleet afterward and returned to the same waters two years later. Look up at the frescoed ceiling, painted generations later for a family wedding, before you reach how his story on that second voyage ends.
