A fifteenth-century Gothic palazzo built by the family of
the Dandolo doges, in the fifteenth century it was already a
‘domus civica’, admitting personalities visiting Venice. Turned
into a hotel by Giuseppe Dal Niel – called Danieli – it has
hosted Dickens, Balzac, Wagner, Mann, Proust, Faulkner, as well
as kings and queens. Luxurious and unique, it witnessed the
jealousies and passions of George Sand and Alfred de Musset,
who lived in room number 10 in 1834, the love affair between
D’Annunzio and Duse, and the meeting between Callas and
Onassis at the ball given by the journalist Elsa Maxwell in 1957 in honour of the soprano.
