What is the difference between the 'Liebestod' and 'Isolde's Transfiguration'? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Richard Wagner and his family moved into the Palazzo Vendramin-Calergi on the Grand Canal on 18 September 1882. It was there that Wagner died on 13 February 1883. Palazzo Vendramin now houses the local Casino. Wagnerians visiting Venice who wish to visit the "Wagner rooms" must make an appointment in advance. The following are the visiting arrangements at present. They might be changed at any time without notice. You can only visit the rooms on Saturday at 10 a.m. precisely, if and only if you have made an appointment prior to noon the Friday before. To do this you must telephone (+39) (41) 52-32-544 and speak (in Italian) to Signora Pugliese. Note! You will not be admitted if you turn up on Saturday without an appointment, nor will you be admitted if you arrive later than 10 a.m. There is no information about visiting the Wagner rooms at the main door of the Palazzo at the "calle larga Vendramin"; but outside the main door there is a small sign with an arrow showing the way to the "staff entrance". This is two minutes (one block) away at the "calle Vendramin". At the staff entrance there should be a porter to assist visitors.
