Summary
Although Odoni’s house was not large or well located, its faÇade was ornamented with sculpted balconies and a colored fresco by Girolamo da Treviso depicting ancient gods. The house and faÇade were commensurate with Odoni’s social position, but were also attention-getting, projecting both Odoni’s individual artistic interests and his larger ties to Venetian prosperity.
