This is the house (or pair of houses) at Dorsoduro 3228 - 3232 next to the Palazzo Foscari at Dorsoduro 3246, Nadali & Vianello (1999) Tav. 40. Ruskin comments on it at Works, 11.388, in the Venetian Index, under the heading ‘Giustiniani, Palazzo’. He remarks that he is following popular custom in calling it Young Foscari, as at Notebook M p.67 and Notebook M p.123, or Younger Foscari, as in the Venetian Index. The idea was that it was made for the son of the Doge, the younger Foscari rather than his father. Ruskin’s Index to M2 makes it clear that this is the house he is referring to at House Book 1 p.18 and House Book 1 p.63L. There are notes on the dating of it at Notebook M2 p.33, and a note, presumably about the same building, in the context of discussion of the development of circle moulding at Notebook M2 p.3. The index to M2 also makes a reference to House Book 2 p.31, but that seems to be a reference to House Book 2 p.31L, presumably used out of sequence by Ruskin because he had nothing else available for his drawing. There are drawings of tracery bars, 14 and 20 of Plate 11 facing Works, 11.285, and a base profile, 14, at Plate 10 facings Works, 9.336.
It is not the Palazzo Giustiniani Morosini at San Marco 1364, which became Albergo Europa and is referred to as the Hotel de l’Europe at House Book 1 p.32, and at Works, 11.377 and Works, 11.388.
