- Palazzo Dandolo
Palazzo Dandolo in a palace in
Venice . Now it is home to the Hotel Royal Danieli.It was built in
1400 , by one of theDandolo families, but whether by that of the great Doge,Enrico Dandolo , is not quite certain. In the "Annali" ofDomenico Malipiero which date from1457 to1500 is written that:The
Diary of Sanudo reports that:The palace passed from the Dandolos to the
Gritti family, in1536 , by a deed of sale. After the Dandolos and the Grittis, the Michiel, theMocenigo and theBernardo families became its possessors by marriage, and they retained it till1805 , when its second floor was sold, by the noble Dame Helen Michiel, widow of Alvise Bernardo to Dal Niel. Dal Niel left it to his daughter Alfonsina Muzzarelli, who was able, in 1840 to buy the first floor from the noble Filippo Nani, the heir of the Mocenigos; and thus the whole building passed to her daughter Giuseppina Roux, and forms the present Hotel Royal Danieli.The noteworthy Gothic door on the
Calle delle Razze was originally the main entrance, and the one on theRiva degli Schiavoni has only been opened in recent years for the convenience of travellers.External links
