  Palazzo Foscari
The Palazzo Foscari (known in Venice as Ca' Foscari) was built on the waterfront of Venice's Grand Canal circa 1452 by the Doge Francesco Foscari, who required its design to demonstrate his wealth and power.
Ca' Foscari stands on a bend in the Grand Canal known as the 'Volta'; it is one of a trio of architecturally distinguished palazzi there, the other two being Ca' Balbi, built in 1590, and Ca' Giustinian built circa 1452.
Today, while Ca' Foscari has lost - through that decay which adds to the charm of modern Venice - much of its original splendour, its architectural merits are still a fine example of the florid Byzantine-inspired gothic architecture that distinguishes so many of the palazzi lining the Grand Canal built during the Renaissance period.

  Francesco Foscari - LoveToKnow 1911
FRANCESCO FOSCARI (1373-1457), doge of Venice, belonged to a noble Venetian family, and held many of the highest offices of the republic - ambassador, president of the Forty, member of the Council of Ten, inquisitor, procurator of St Mark, avvogadore di comun, andc.
Foscari's reign bore out Mocenigo's warning and was full of wars on the terra ferma, and through the doge's influence Venice joined the Florentines in their campaign against Milan, which was carried on with varying success for eight years.
In 1430 an attempt was made on Foscari's life by a noble to whom he had refused an appointment; and three years later a conspiracy of young bloods to secure the various offices for themselves by illicit intrigues was discovered.
