FLORENCE, Italy, September 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Over 6,000 sqm, original ceilings
with stucco decorations, gold and frescoes, multicoloured glass and
mosaic floors
The rooms of this wonderful Venetian Palace, the Donà
Giovannelli, adorned with stuccoes and paintings, were once home to
one of the most famous and mysterious works in the history of art:
Giorgione's The Tempest. It has arrived here in 1875, when
Venetian Prince Giuseppe Giovannelli
bought it from the Manfrin noble family, paying it 127,000 liras and "snatching" it from
Berlin's Museum, which had offered
the same price but were not able to seal the deal due to a late
payment.

The painting stayed in the prince's home
(http://www.lionard.com/moviefullhd?id=1363 ) for sixty years,
until the family's low wealth forced them to sell it to The Italian
State for 5 million liras. From then
on, The Tempest has hung in the Gallerie dell'Accademia.
Palazzo Donà Giovannelli
(http://www.lionard.com/stunning-estate-for-sale-in-venice.html) is
a marvellous estate in Venice.
Located in the centre of the city, a few metres from Canal Grande,
built between the 15th and 16th centuries and
owned by famous noble families from Venice and beyond: in 1538, it was gifted to
Francesco Maria della Rovere, duke
of Urbino, who made his home here.
Today, this wonderful palace is one of the properties sold by
Lionard Luxury Real Estate (http://www.lionard.com), leading
company in the Italian luxury real estate market.
Currently a private home, this building is perfect to be
converted in a stunning luxury hotel in one of Italy's most beautiful cities.
Being located at the confluence of two streams, it has two
façades: the main one is an imposing and spectacular
Late-Venetian-Gothic front; the second is 40 metres long and
features a mix of different periods.
A monumental door leads to a central courtyard with the historic
five-storey palace built around it; it measures 6,125 sqm overall
and has over 700 sqm of gardens, porticoes and courtyards. An
octagonal staircase leads to the upper floor, including the "piano
nobile", which was once home to Prince
Giovannelli and which, measuring 1,300 sqm, is the biggest
in Venice. The original gilded
ceilings decorated with stuccoes and paintings, the multi-coloured
windows, and the mosaic floors create a unique and timeless
atmosphere.
