Additional information
The building depicted is called Palazzo Aldrighetti in Pietro Brandolese's 'Pitture, sculture, architetture ed altre cose notabili di Padova' (Padova, 1795), p. 215, which gives Piazza Eremitani (opposite the Chiesa degli Eremitani) as its location. According to Brandolese, the date 1596 appeared in an inscription in the fac_ade, reproduced as plate XXIX in Opere Inedite del Palladio, vol. 1, part 1. Possibly destroyed in the 1940s.
