The dish was proposed with this name for the first time in Venice, at the time of an exhibition dedicated to Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio which took place around 1950.
The interior houses an Annunciation by Sebastiano Ricci, a Guardian Angel with St Anthony of Padua and St Gaetano of Thiene by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and the main altarpiece is a San Vidal on Horseback (1514) by Carpaccio.
After the war turns, with the help of Roberto Longhi, Barbaro made two short of films dedicated to Carpaccio and Caravaggio.
The banners over the tower, red-white with three golden crowns, are those of the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II, the main Venetian enemy during Carpaccio's life.
