This 1993 book tells the history of the building of Marin Contarini's palace - the Cà d'Oro, or 'House of Gold' - over a period of nearly twenty years. The relationships between Contarini and his craftsmen are analysed, as is the pivotal role of Contarini himself, the architect manqué whose monument this was to become.
