Angel, and devil possessed monkey (see caption below)
Palazzo Soranzo dell'Angelo, 15th (the left part, shown here) and 17th cen. The name is derived from the angel on the left wing. The right wing is, as well as the central serliana, a result of later alteraltions. According to legend, a pet monkey kept at the palazzo was possessed by the devil. During an exorcism the monkey flew through the wall of the building leaving behind a big hole that the owner promptly got covered with the shrine of the angel to prevent the devil from coming back.
