Palazzo Donà Giovannelli

Palazzo Donà Giovannelli is a historic civil building located in the Cannaregio district of Venice, Italy, known for its stunning architecture and rich history. Originally owned by Francesco Maria I Della Rovere in 1538, it later passed to the Donà family and then to the Giovannelli family. The palace features two distinct facades, with the late-Gothic style facing the Rio di Noale showcasing intricate decorations and impressive windows. The simpler façade on the Rio di Santa Fosca reflects a blend of Gothic, late Renaissance, and neo-Gothic styles. Inside, the palace is arranged around a central courtyard and boasts beautifully redesigned interiors with smaller rooms adorned with stuccos and fireplaces. Notably, it will be transformed into an Orient Express hotel in 2026, making it an exciting destination for tourists and researchers alike.
