Palazzo Donà, Gothic palace in San Polo district, Venice, Italy

Palazzo Donà is a palace in Venice's San Polo district featuring Gothic architecture with intricate stone details and traditional Venetian windows arranged symmetrically. The building sits directly along the canal and displays the craftsmanship typical of residences from its period.

Palazzo Donà a San Polo, also called Palazzo Donà Brusa, was built in the early 14th century for the Donà family, an old aristocratic house originally from Aquileia. Three of its members, Francesco, Leonardo and Nicolò, became Doges of Venice. The composer Giovanni Francesco Brusa, who worked with Carlo Goldoni, later lived in the palace. It now belongs to the Signum Foundation.

The palace is also called Palazzo Donà Brusa, after the composer Giovanni Francesco Brusa, who lived here and worked with the playwright Carlo Goldoni. The building now belongs to the Signum Foundation, which uses it for exhibitions of Polish and other foreign artists.

The palace stands on Campo San Polo, beside Palazzo Balbi and facing the Rio de la Madoneta. The square is reached on foot from the San Toma or San Silvestro vaporetto stops; no stop serves San Polo itself. The facade is seen from the campo and from the bridge over the Rio de la Madoneta.

The palace takes the name Brusa from the composer Giovanni Francesco Brusa, who lived here and wrote librettos for Carlo Goldoni. Since the building passed to the Signum Foundation it has hosted exhibitions of Polish and other foreign artists, so a private residence of the Donà has become a contemporary art venue.
