L'impressionante sezione di palazzo che fa da quinta scenografica alla piazza del Castello è l'evidente testimonianza dell'esito sfortunato di un cantiere palladiano. Alla sinistra del frammento è chiaramente visibile la vecchia casa quattrocentesca della famiglia Porto, che era destinata ad essere progressivamente demolita con l'avanzare del cantiere del nuovo palazzo, cosa che evidentemente non avvenne a causa della prudenza del committente Alessandro Porto.

La datazione è incerta, ma senz'altro posteriore al 1570, sia perché il palazzo non è inserito nei Quattro libri dell'architettura (pubblicati a Venezia in quell'anno) sia perché Alessandro riceve in eredità le proprietà di famiglia in piazza Castello dopo la morte del padre Benedetto, nell'ambito della spartizione dei beni di famiglia con i fratelli Orazio e Pompeo, avvenuta nel 1571.

Francesco Thiene, proprietario dell'omonimo palazzo palladiano all'altro estremo della piazza, sposò Isabella Porto, sorella di Alessandro, e come già nel caso di Iseppo da Porto e i cognati Marcantonio e Adriano Thiene, forse fu proprio la competizione fra le due famiglie ad essere all'origine delle inusuali dimensioni di palazzo Porto. Del resto è la posizione stessa del palazzo, fondale della piazza, a rendere necessaria un'accentuata monumentalità, in grado di dominare il grande spazio aperto antistante: una logica sperimentata pochi anni prima con la Loggia del Capitaniato in piazza dei Signori.

Con buona probabilità il palazzo avrebbe dovuto svilupparsi in sette campate e avere un cortile concluso ad esedra, come prova un'analisi delle murature superstiti. Non è chiara la ragione del blocco del cantiere, che Vincenzo Scamozzi dichiara nel 1615 di aver portato personalmente alla attuale, parziale conclusione. Gli interni sono stati pesantemente alterati nel corso del tempo.

Nel 1994 è stato inserito dall'UNESCO, assieme alle altre architetture palladiane della città, nella lista dei patrimoni...

A very peculiar building by the great Andrea Palladio... An unfinished palazzo close to the city center that has become quite iconic with its slender proportions and collosal aspect (regardless of its relatively small facade towards the street). An enchanting "palladiano incompiuto" that recalls how most of Palladio's urban residence were built: in stages, depending on the funding, but always according to the initial project. Nothing was being compromised! Worst case scenario, the working site was halted until further financing...

I call this the 'angry' man building. If you look st the facade you will recognise a face. We didn't go inside so I cannot comment about it. It is certainly an interesting building, but , yes, it does look peculiar.
