The palace was originally built by the old aristocratic Donà family, originally from Aquileia. Three members of the family, Francesco, Leonardo, and Nicolo became Doges.
The composer , a collaborator with Carlo Goldoni, lived in the palace.
The palace is now owned by the Signum Foundation, which sponsors exhibitions from Polish and foreign contemporary artists.[1]
