Ferdinando Ongania [1842 - 1911] was an Italian antiquarian book seller,with a shop in St. Mark's Square in Venice. From 1861 until his death in 1911 he devoted himself almost entirely to the printing of illustrated art books. His love of Venice inspired him to record the architecture of his beloved city.
So called from the half-figure of an Angel still standing at the foot of the palace, and placed there according to the legend, in memory of a malignant spirit that once haunted it in the form of an ape.
