The story in The Laws of Time unfolds on November 9, 1730 in a Venetian palace that no longer exists. Palazzo Antelmi stood opposite Misericordia, on rio di Noale, and bears the name of the Antelmi family who lived there. Its construction is attributed to the studio of architect Baldassare Longhena (1596–1682), one of the most important Venetian Baroque architects.
The Antelmi family was admitted to the Venetian patrician class in 1646. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Antelmi’s Palazzo belonged to a certain Signor Colzani, who went bankrupt. His creditors became the owners of the building, by then in a bad condition, and had it demolished in 1812.
Nothing remains of the palace today. In its place there is a wall enclosing the garden of an anonymous building.
The sole remaining testimonies to the building are engravings published during the eighteenth century.
Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718) included it in his collection “Palazzi di Venezia” in 1710. The house also appears in an engraving by Domenico Lovisa (circa 1690–1750), included in Il Gran Teatro delle più insigni prospettive di Venezia (The Great Theatre of the Most Noteworthy Perspectives of Venice ) (ca 1717). The most important documents, however, are those of Antonio Visentini (1688–1782) who included two technical drawings of Palazzo Antelmi—the façade and the ground floor plan—in his Admiranda Urbis Venetae, a work in three volumes commissioned by Joseph Smith and produced between 1745 and 1755.
