The new proprietor converted +it into an hotel, giving it his own name--_Hotel Danieli_. + +Although the use to which this Palace, which once occupied so large +a place in the glories of the history of Venice, has been put during +the present century is very different from that for which it was built, +it has always been kept most worthily, first by Danieli, then by his +daughter Alfonsina, the wife of Vespasiano Muzzarelli, then by his +grand-daughter, Giuseppina Roux, and last by S.S. Genovesi and Campi; +so that it had the honour, which it still possesses, of being chosen +by Emperors, Kings, Princes, and Ambassadors, and by great men of all +countries whose artistic travels bring them to this incomparable city, +so justly called the «Pearl of the Adriatic». + +To the honour of the proprietors, who have succeeded one another in this +hotel, be it said that although, from time to time, certain works have +been executed in this historic Palace, to adapt it to its new use as an +hotel, yet not only have the staircases, the saloons and the various +apartments been preserved just as they were, but the artistic beauties, +and the historical souvenirs, have been carefully respected; the +stuccoes and frescoes of the XVIth and XVIIth century have been spared; +and the portraits and heraldic shields of the Dandolos, the Bernardos, +and the Mocenigos can still be admired today in their original +positions. + + +[Illustration: PANORAMAS FROM THE BALCONIES OF THE PALAZZO DANDOLO +(NOW HOTEL ROYAL DANIELI)] + + +[Illustration: PANORAMAS FROM THE BALCONIES OF THE PALAZZO DANDOLO +(NOW HOTEL ROYAL DANIELI)] + + +It will surely be agreeable to the travellers who come to lodge in +this remarkable building to know its origin and its history. We propose +to give them a rapid sketch of both; and we believe it will not be +uninteresting to them to know that in the halls and chambers they +inhabit, some of the most important acts of the great Venetian Republic +have been discussed and decided upon; and that in this Palace besides +Doges and Senators, Kings and Ambassadors, Alfred de Musset (then a fair +and charming young man in delicate health) took up his abode, in 1833, +and Balzac, mme George Sand (who here wrote her novel _Leone +Leoni_), and Victor Feuillet, who, for his magnificent romance +«L'Honnêteté», drew his inspiration from Venetian subjects. + +But to return to the ancient history of the Palace (now Hotel Royal +Danieli) it was built in 1400, by one of the Dandolo families, but +whether by that of the great Doge, Enrico Dandolo, is not quite certain. +In the _Chronicles of Malipiero_ which date from 1457 to 1500 we +find the following passage «Today, the 28th August 1498, have arrived +the Ambassadors of Florence, Rucellai and Vespucci; who are lodged in +the Palazzo Dandolo, in the Calle delle Razze». We should here remark +that the beautiful Gothic door, in the Calle delle Razze was originally +the principle entrance, and the one on the Riva degli Schiavoni has +only been opened in recent years for the convenience of travellers. + +We find confirmation of what has been said as to the date of the Palace, +and as to the family who built it, in the _Diary of Sanudo_, in +which he tells us that «on the 7th April 1498 the Prince of Salerno came +to Venice. A most brilliant reception was given him, great _festas_ +were held in his honour, and he, and his suite of forty-four persons +were lodged in the Dandolo Palace of the _Calle delle Razze_». + +Sanudo tells us again that «in 1499, this magnificent abode was +prepared, by order of the Republic, to receive worthily the French +Ambassadors». + +We could cite many other historical passages proving that this Palace +had belonged to the Dandolo family, but one more, and a very interesting +one, must suffice. In _Sanudo's Diary_ we read again «On the +evening of the 21 February 1531 the orator Cesareo, in the Palace +Dandolo, Calle delle Razze, on the quay, gave a very great feast, with +fireworks concerts, and illuminated boats, Spanish fashion, on the Canal +of St. Mark's, on the occasion of the elevation of the king of Hungary +and Boemia, to the dignity of a King of the Romans». + +This historic Palace passed from the Dandolos to the Gritti family, in +1536, by a deed of sale; and it is not without interest to note that to +distinguish it from others of the same name, it is called in the deed, +«that Palazzo Dandolo in which generally abides the Ambassadors of +France». + + +[Illustration: ATRIUM AND DUCAL STAIRS IN THE PALAZZO DANDOLO] + + +After the Dandolos and the Grittis, the Michiel, the Mocenigo and the +Bernardo families became its possessors by marriage, and they retained +it till the beginning of the present century, when, as we have said, +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 interior of this beautiful Palace we have already described its +architecture in Venetian Gothic, and Sansovino's hand is to be traced +in many of its details. It well deserves the reputation that it enjoys +of being one of the noblest hotels in the world--indeed its artistic +beauties, and its historic associations, can only be equalled by its +unique and romantic position. Mme Georges Sand, who lodged in the hotel +in May 1834, as she watched from her balcony the sun setting over the +enchanting scene spread out before her, writes in her Letters of a +Traveller--«The sun had set behind the Euganean hills, great purple +clouds hung in the sky over Venice. The tower of St Mark's, the domes +of Sta. Maria, and the forest of spires and minarets that rise from all +parts of Venice, were drawn in black outline against the burnished +horizon. The sky passed, by an admirable gradation, from cherry red to +enamelled blue; and the water, calm and limpid as a glass, gave back the +exact reflection of this immense iridescence. Nearer the town the lagoon +was like a vast mirror of bronze. Never had I seen Venice so lovely and +so fairy-like». + +To the beauty of a panorama unequalled in the world, that is spread +before the windows of the hotel to its historic associations to the +purity and the grandeur of its architecture, to the Venetian +sumptuousness of its halls and chambers (including the green saloon of +the Doges) to the magnificence of its Atrium and staircase--preserved in +its original XVth cent. condition, must now be added the important works +of restoration and embellishment just completed by the present +proprietors who by the aid of clever architects, artists and decorators, +have studied the means of bringing into requisition all the modern +appliances, in the way of Steam and Electricity, to produce luxury and +comfort, without taking from this interesting Venetian monument its +original character, which carries the traveller back to the epoch of the +Dandolos, the Grittis, the Bernardos, the Michielis and the Mocenigos. + + +[Illustration: SCALA D'ORO] + + + + +THE NEW YORK HERALD + +(European Edition) of April 14th + +says: + +We have pleasure in offering to the readers of the NEW YORK HERALD +a few details about this splendid hotel, which, because of its ancient +history, its modern additions, its internal arrangements, its +topografical position at Venice, is one of the most interesting hotels +in Italy. + +We will begin by pointing out the frame is worthy of the picture. Among +all the cities of the world, incontestably the most beautiful and the +most unique is Venice--the «Queen of the Adriatic». + +Venice for the traveler, for the artist, for the poet, is far more +interesting than Naples, and even than Rome. The shores of Naples, +however enchanting, the monuments of Rome, however incomparable, can be +pictured by the imagination even without visiting them, but Venice can +be comprehended and realized only by seeing it with the eyes and by +living its life, and the more this is done, the greater becomes the +admiration excited. + +The enchanting mysteries of its canals and of its picturesque streets +and calles, the grandeur of its monuments and of its palaces, which rise +as by enchantment from the limpid water, the atmosphere of poetry and +art which surrounds it, are not to be described, or if described present +but a faint picture of the reality. + +This, then, being the romantic frame, the picture as spread out before +the windows of the Palazzo Dandolo, now Royal Hotel Danieli, which +stands in the finest part of the Riva degli Schiavoni, is worthy of it, +making an unequalled panorama, which extends from the Piazzetta with the +Molo, the Columns, St. Mark's Church and the Doge's Palace away round to +the Public Gardens. The front, which is due south, faces the broad Basin +of St. Mark, dotted with gondolas and boats of all kinds, and the broad +lagoons, with their treasures and their mysteries. The red church of San +Giorgio Maggiore and the great dome of the Salute, reflect themselves +in the water to the right, backed, in the far distance, by the blue +volcanic hills of Padua: while to the left is Byron's island of San +Lazzaro, and the long low banks of the Lido that defend Venice from +the waves of the Adriatic. + + +[Illustration: SMOKING-ROOM AND AMERICAN BAR] + + +[Illustration: PUBLIC DRAWING ROOM] + + +But the palace itself, famous in the history of Venice, having been +built in 1400 by the great family of Dandolo (and which is now the +Royal Hotel Danieli), forms an integral part of the picture, for it is +one of the most magnificent palaces of Venice; and we shall presently +give our readers a historical sketch of it, which we trust will prove +interesting. Meanwhile we must mention that to this ancient and +sumptuous palace, with its Atrium and Loggia, with its grand ducal +staircase, its ample reception halls, its «golden stairs», its rooms +decorated with stucco and precious carvings, its Sansovino ceiling +beams, its wooden mosaic floors, and its bifurcated windows and ogival +balconies, which recall the history of Bianca Cappello, has been added +a second palace, equally large and imposing, but one built on purpose +for a hotel. + +This second building is modern--modern in all its details, as we shall +see in due course. + +The exterior of these two palaces, of which the architecture presents +a remarkable contrast, can be admired in the following engraving. + +The building to the right of the spectator is the modern Palace, that on +the left the ancient Dandolo Palace--each splendid in its own style--and +the one in the distance is the famous Palace of the Doges. + +To describe the interior of these two handsome edifices is very +difficult, but the accompanying engraving, which represents the +_Atrium_ of the Palazzo Dandolo, with its magnificent ducal +staircase, will give some idea of their beauty. Around this Atrium are +a number of fine halls and offices, with the water-gate opening on to +a side canal with a marble landing-stage for the gondolas. Near to the +water-gate is the _Railway Office_ (a convenience possessed by +no other hotel in Venice), where tickets can be taken and luggage be +registered without any trouble to the traveler. Next this is the +luggage office. + +Opposite the land entrance is the _Porter's Lodge_, where one or +more porters are always to be found at the disposition of travelers. On +the left hand is a _Post Office_ with, for the greater security of +all correspondence, a Government letter-box; and close by, the _Bureau +of the Hotel_, with offices for the _cashier_, for _money changing_, +and for _Bank business_. + +Opposite the grand stairs is a luxurious _Smoking Room_, its walls +hung with rich material, and furnished in Oriental comfort and style, +with an _American Bar_ leading out of it. Next it, are two spacious +_Reading and Writing Rooms_, containing the principal newspapers +and illustrated publications of the world. + + +[Illustration: READING ROOM] + + +On the right hand of the main door is a large _Public Drawing +Room,_ style of 1700, with handsome stucco-work, and gilt furniture +covered with rich stuffs, with the hangings and wall-coverings all _en +suite_. This room alone would repay a visit to the hotel. Some idea +can be formed of it from the following engravings, though, of course, +the full effect of its richness and color is lost. In the two palaces +there are a number of other such drawing-rooms, besides a concert hall, +ballroom, music room and billiard room, &c. There are also bath rooms +and douche baths on every floor. On the ground floor are the +_kitchens_, the _wine cellars_, the _ice cellars_, the apparatus +for _heating_ the whole buildings by steam, thus spreading a +uniform temperature throughout the two Palaces. Here is also the +machinery for the _lifts_, the centre for the distribution of the +_electric light_ and the boilers and _syphons_ for giving _hot water_ +direct into all the apartments. All this deserves being examined from +the novelty of the systems employed and from the exquisite order and +tidiness which everywhere reigns. + +We will not describe the _bedrooms_ and _sitting rooms_, +except to say that they have all been recently done up and richly +furnished with the utmost artistic taste and are all lit with +electricity. Many of the apartments have been preserved in the original +style, especially the _Saloon of the Doges_, No. 9, which with the +adjoining rooms, Nos. 10, 11 and 12, all of which overlook the Riva +degli Schiavoni and the magnificent panorama already described. + +The _wines_ and _the table_ are a great speciality of the +Hotel Royal Danieli, all being of the very highest order, and its +_dining rooms_ and _restaurant_ arranged with small and separate tables, +have an unusual character all their own. + +The _dining rooms_ are decorated in an entirely novel style and one +that is truly poetic. The great windows of ground glass are transformed +into eight lovely winter gardens of rare plants, which are reproduced in +the big mirrors which line the walls, and the electric light, which +hangs in delicate Venetian glass lily pendants round the ceiling, +produces a most charming and unusual effect. + +The two great _restaurant_ halls are furnished in pure style of the +Empire, for all the stuffs and decorations are copied from the best +works that treat of that period, and are among the richest and choicest +of that famous epoch. + +Thus, by a series of ingenious combinations these two palaces, so different +from each other in many ways, blend themselves in one harmonious and +artistic whole, and in them are united the greatest luxury with the utmost +comfort. + + +[Illustration: SALON OF THE DOGES] + + +To give an idea of the whole we will imagine that a traveler is staying +in the apartment of the Doge--which recalls all the pomp and grandeur +of old Venice--to go to the breakfast-room and restaurant we will pass +through the great Sansovino ball-room, then through the Rose saloon, by +the side of which is the music-room (style Empire), and the gallery of +tapestry and majolica, and thus reaches the Empire decorated restaurants +which we have already described. + +In the evening at dinner-time the traveler would, instead, descend by +successive steps, through a Renaissance vestibule, to the beautiful +winter garden dining-halls, which, especially when lit up by the soft +radiance of the electric lilies, makes a perfect fairy scene. + +Round the ball-room on the first floor runs an uncovered _loggia_, +from whence one can look down into the court of honor, or Venetian +Atrium, in which of an evening characteristic concerts are frequently +given. From the first floor the great «scala d'oro» conducts one to the +second floor, where are the spacious concert-room and various handsome +suites of ancient and modern apartments. + +To the honor of the proprietors who have succeeded one another, be it +said, that although from time to time certain works have been executed +in this historic palace to adapt it to its new use as a hotel, yet not +only have the staircases, the saloons and the various apartments been +preserved just as they were, but the artistic beauties and the historic +souvenirs have been carefully respected, the stuccoes and frescoes +of the sixteenth and seventeenth century have been spared, and the +portraits and heraldic shields of the Dandolos, the Bernardos and the +Mocenigos can still be admired to-day in their original positions. + +Although the use to which this Palace, which once occupied so large a +place in the glories of the history of Venice, has been put during the +present century is very different from that which it was built, it has +always been kept most worthily, first by Danieli, then by his daughter +Alfonsina, the wife of Vespasiano Muzzarelli; then by his granddaughter, +Giuseppina Roux, and, last, by S.S. Genovesi and Campi, so that it had +the honor, which it still possesses, of being chosen by Emperors, Kings, +Princes and Ambassadors, and by great men of all countries whose +artistic travels bring them to this incomparable city, so justly called +the «Pearl of the Adriatic». + +The delightful impression made on those who inhabit the Hotel Royal +Danieli has been expressed over and over again to their friends, and +they have often said to the proprietors that they have rather felt as if +visiting in the house of a friend, or in a princely mansion, than in an +hotel, even though in the greatest hotel in the world. + + +[Illustration: SANSOVINO HALL] + + +In this lovely palace the traveler feels _at home_. All is artistic +and poetical. No long passages, painted in imitation marble, cold and +draughty, and dreary! No long endless tables and big red velvet divans, +as in a cafe! No long rows of rooms in which the furniture is so much +alike that you cannot tell if you are in your own room or someone +else's! Here is nothing conventional, nothing that is to be seen +everywhere--whether among the mountains of Switzerland or on the +boulevards of Paris, and which makes the traveler's life monotonous +wherever he may be. Here, on the contrary, he finds himself in an +atmosphere of _home_, of comfort, and of suitability to his +position, however exalted that may be, and one in keeping with his +romantic surroundings. + +This has been the aim of those who have directed the decorations of the +Hotel Royal Danieli, and they are happy in the thought that they have +succeeded to the satisfaction of the visitors. + +_To sum up_. The Hotel Royal Danieli, now entirely restored and +embellished from ground to roof and decorated by the best Venetian +artists, arranged with all the most modern appliances for comfort, +can offer the following conveniences for travelers:-- + + POST OFFICE. + RAILWAY OFFICE. + MONEY EXCHANGE AND BANKING OFFICE. + TWO LIFTS. + ELECTRIC LIGHT IN EVERY ROOM. + STEAM HEATERS. + BATHS AND DOUCHE BATHS ON EVERY FLOOR. + STEAM BOILERS FOR HOT WATER. + PRIVATE LAUNDRY. + COURT OF HONOR, OR ATRIUM. + READING-ROOMS. + WRITING-ROOM. + SMOKING-ROOM AND AMERICAN BAR. + PUBLIC DRAWING-ROOM. + LADIES' DRAWING-ROOM. + CONCERT HALL. + BALL ROOM. + MUSIC ROOM. + BILLIARD ROOM. + RESTAURANT, AT EVERY HOUR. + TABLE D'HOTE, AT SEPARATE TABLES, &c., &c. + + + +[Illustration: STEPS AND RENAISSANCE VESTIBULE] + + +[Illustration: HALL OF THE WINTER GARDENS] + + +Table d'hote at separate tables, &c., &c., and all conducted according +to the most modern systems of comfort and elegance. + +Although the present proprietors, Messrs. Genovesi, Campi, Bozzi +& Co., have spent a veritable fortune this year in restorations and +embellishments, so as to render the Hotel Royal Danieli the most +comfortable, the most artistic and the most aristocratic hotel in +Europe, yet they have in nothing augmented the prices, but have retained +those moderate rates which have helped to render the Hotel Danieli so +famous. + + * * * * * + +Nota bene--The ancient Palazzo Dandolo, now Hotel Royal Danieli, and all +its internal arrangements, deserves a special visit from travelers who +are sojourning in Venice, and the proprietors will be most happy to show +the palace to all interested in the sights of Venice, whether they are +resident in the hotel or not. + +[Illustration] + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Summary History of the Palazzo +Dandolo, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK HISTORY OF THE PALAZZO DANDOLO *** + +***** This file should be named 13870.txt or 13870.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/3/8/7/13870/ + +Produced by Juliet Sutherland, David Garcia and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team. + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + |
