The Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice occupies the former Scuola della Carità complex. Bartolomeo Bon completed the Santa Maria della Carità facade in 1441, and Andrea Palladio began the Convento dei Canonici Lateranensi in 1561, which was never fully completed. The Scuola della Carità building dates to 1343. The article names no client, and the infobox's 1750 refers to the academy's founding, not the building.
The article calls the complex Palladian and gives no materials or building dimensions. Veronese's Feast in the House of Levi measures 555 by 1,280 centimeters.
Napoleonic authorities assigned the complex to the academy in 1807, and the collections first opened to the public in 1817. The gallery became independent in 1879, and the art school moved out in 2004. It is a state museum of pre-19th-century Venetian painting. The article gives no hours.
