Palazzo Contarini Polignac
In the story · Final episodes (Tom's palazzo in Venice)
A real filming location. In the last episodes Tom rents this 15th-century palace on the Grand Canal. Here he is questioned by Inspector Ravini, the Italian policeman investigating Freddie's death and Dickie's disappearance; the canopy bed in Tom's bedroom was already in the palace.
