Palazzo Vitturi (Castello 5246, Nadali & Vianello (1999) Tav. 30). Palazzo Vitturi is cited at Works, 10.166 and illustrated at Plate 11 facing Works, 10.166, as providing the best example of the cross set above the windows in a transitional style house. Notebook M2 p.3 is concerned with circle mouldings. The Ruskin Library Transcript T7B reads Vittora for one of the examples there and that is a plausible reading of the manuscript. Palazzo Vitturi, at Castello 5246, Ruskin’s House Number 54 at House Book 2 pp.6L and 6, would be appropriate to the sense but although Casa Vitturi has an entry in the index at Notebook M2 p.198 there is no mention there of Notebook M2 p.3. There is further detailed description at Palace Book pp.7L and 7; PB10L; Palace Book p.11.
