The page reference is to House Book 2 p.30 and not to either Cicognara & Diedo (1838-40) or Cicogna (1824) No. 125 on the church of the Madonnna dell’ Orto. Selvatico (1847) p.140 cites Cicogna (1824) ii.27 on Madonna dell’ Orto, and this is perhaps the source of Ruskin’s reference. The reference is to the Benzi-Zecchini - or Benci-Zecchini - family who built a Palazzo in the late sixteenth century in the parish of Madonna dell’ Orto at Cannaregio 3458, Nadali & Vianello (1999) Tav. 3.
