The beginning of the embankment is a square with a monument to Victor Emmanuel II, the unifying king of Italy.
If you look to the left, a mesmerizing panorama of the Venetian Lagoon and the Grand Canal opens up ...
You will look to the right - there are magnificent marble palaces with columns and pointed arches. They were built on the banks of the Grand Canal a long time ago, since the XIV-XV centuries. At that time, architecture was the main sign of the wealth and prestige of the Venetian nobility.
One of these palaces in the late Venetian Gothic style is the Dandolo palazzo. This magnificent building once belonged to the Dandolo family, from where it got its name. But very soon, the family members decided to sell the palace to another famous family - Gritti, thereby launching a long history of sales and purchases of this palazzo.
A few words about the powerful Dandolo family, who gave Venice four Doges. One of them, Enrico Dandolo, became the inspirer and organizer of the fourth crusade to Constantinople. The events of that time are reflected in the canvas "Doge Enrico Dandolo Calls upon Warriors to Go on a Crusade" by artist Jean Leclerc, which hangs nearby in the Doge's Palazzo.
The Fourth Crusade remains one of the most shameful pages in the history of Christian civilization. The military campaign, launched with the aim of recapturing the Holy Land, ended in treacherous civil strife. The fourth crusade was planned for 1199, it was supposed to begin with a blow to Egypt, and then, if successful, Jerusalem itself would fall into the hands of the victors. But instead, the crusaders went to the Byzantine Empire and on April 13, 1204, they took Constantinople and plundered it.
So, it turns out, at the Doge of the Republic of St. Mark. in addition to political and economic considerations, there were their own accounts with the Byzantine Empire. Enrico Dandolo in 1171 was the envoy of Venice in Constantinople. And in Byzantium there was a custom to dazzle the subjects of other states, even diplomatic representatives, if this state came into conflict with the Greek Empire. In March 1171, the basileus Manuel I Komnenos (c. 1122-1180) ordered the sudden arrest of all citizens of Venice who were on the territory of the empire, and the confiscation of their property. It was then that Enrico Dandolo lost his sight.

After Gritti, the palace was owned by representatives of the aristocratic families Michele, Mocenigo, Bernardi. Apparently, the rich and noblemen who acquired the palazzo were simply not ready to pay for its maintenance. This continued until the 1630s, until the Italians acquired the palace, who made it the most popular gambling house in the city, introducing the rule to play in masks, so as not to feel shame in front of those present at major losses. Nevertheless, after some time the casino had to be closed at the insistence of the authorities, and its owner to flee.
The palace remained in the history of Venice, thanks to the fact that the first in Venice opera "The Stolen Proserpine" by Claudio Monteverdi was staged here in the early forties of the 17th century. Monteverdi at that time held the position of Kapellmeister at St. Mark's Cathedral, which is a stone's throw from the palace. The Venetian Opera opened only in 1637, and before that performances were held in private palaces.
Nowadays, the gondolier parking lot next to the palazzo is called Danieli, because the palace eventually turned into the famous Danieli hotel. In 1822, part of the premises of the Dandolo Palace was rented by the Venetian businessman Giuseppe del Nieli. Renting out rooms to a traveler, he gradually bought the entire building and turned it into a hotel, calling him his last name - Danieli.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the owners, descendants of Giuseppe del Nieli, added another to the main palace of Dandolo. The new building received its own name Danielino. Later, a new building was added to the complex of two houses, which was named Casa Nuova.
At different times, celebrities stayed at the hotel - King Wilhelm of Prussia, Charles Dickens, Honore de Balzac, Marcel Proust, Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo. In the 10th issue, which is very popular to this day, the romance of Georges Sand and Alfred de Musset took place.
In 2008, the new Italian owners decided to renovate all three buildings and invited the famous French decorator Jacques Garcia to do this.
The interiors of the palace amaze with excessive luxury: Gothic arches and passages, wall paintings, patinated mirrors, antique handmade carpets and tapestries, exquisite forging, Murano chandeliers and stained glass. A marble staircase covered with carpet rises three floors.
Crystal sconces, bronze candelabra, Murano glass, Venetian mirrors, old paintings in gilded frames, antique palace furniture and heavy velvet curtains - what is there not.
These premises cannot be called anything other than a real Venetian Baroque museum.
In 2010, the hotel filmed The Tourist starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. It was the 10th number that the heroes of the film chose, because from here through the panoramic lancet windows and from the balcony a stunning view of the Grand Canal opens.
Here Proust wrote In Search of Lost Time. Perhaps it was on this terrace that Byron wrote the lines of his future Childe Harold. Thomas Mann and Wagner, Dickens and Strauss - all of them are remembered by the walls of "Daniel". But the most famous guests of the hotel were not great people, but great passions: here Gabriele D "Annunzio fell in love with Eleanor Duse, and Georges Sand cheated on Alfred de Musset.
Oh, this Venice - so many beauties, so many stories, so many passions, it just beckons with its originality and inexhaustibility!

Piazza Venezia in front of Vittoriano is so called because three centuries before the construction of the pompous palace-memorial, on its opposite side there was a representation of the Venetian Republic. Cardinal Pietro Barba, a Venetian and a great lover of the fine arts, granted him his own residence, the Palazzo Venezia, after he was elected Pope of Rome in 1464 under the name of Paul II. When the republic was seized by Austria-Hungary, the imperial embassy was located in the building. The last occupant of the palace was Benito Mussolini.
The ancient fortress tower of Uzh, standing here since the dark ages and so named because of the winding staircases, was not demolished, but connected by a passage to the nearby St. Mark's Basilica. A long three-story building was added to them along the Via del Plebiscito. It is considered the first civil building in the Renaissance style in Rome. Stones from the ruins of the Colosseum were used as building materials. From the balcony in the middle of the facade on the second floor, Mussolini often spoke to the people, choosing the palace for his residence, although since 1916 the National Museum was already located there.
Today, 28 halls of the Palazzo Venezia are occupied by collections of paintings, sculptures, ancient weapons, ceramics and religious objects from different regions of Italy. Visitors are greeted by a bust of Paul II under the coat of arms of the Barbo family and a portrait of Pope Pius IV, who donated the palace to the Venetian Republic.

Venice is famous for its large number of palaces.
The palace complex of Venice was created over many centuries. Centuries of development and prosperity of the Venetian Republic fell under the influence of the Byzantine, Gothic, Romanesque styles. The Renaissance has made a huge contribution.

Each influential Venetian family considered it their duty to build a mansion, maybe several. As a result, many mansions in the names began to reflect the names of the owners. For the construction and decoration of the ancestral palaces, the families attracted the best architects, sculptors and artists.

One can only guess what feelings the sailors felt when they entered the Veneto lagoon after a long and dangerous voyage and saw in front of them the lace galleries of the Doge's Palace, the center of power and finance of the Venetian Republic. During the Renaissance, her fleet ensured the safety of trade, the fate of European monarchs was decided in the huge Hall of the Grand Council, the Venetian Doge, the head of the republican administration, sailed from the embankment annually on the ship-palace "Buchintoro" to be betrothed to the Adriatic.
Wealth was not shy here - beautiful palaces of the “new Venetians” arose on the Grand Canal. One of them is Ka'd'Oro, that is, the Golden House, or Palazzo Santa Sofia. There are no traces of gold leaf, which supposedly covered the entire facade for a long time, but the Gothic-Moorish architecture surprises with its peculiar grace. The last owner, Baron Franchetti, was a connoisseur of beauty and gathered under his roof a rich collection of paintings, statues and carved furniture. After the death of the patron, the building, together with its contents, became the city's property.
Ca Pesaro houses a wonderful collection of paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition includes canvases by Bonnard, Matisse, Kandinsky, Klimt and Chagall, statues of Rosso. The eastern section is filled with collections of Japanese and Chinese art, collected by the owner of the palazzo, Count Balbi.
In the labyrinth of canals, you should find the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo - in order to admire the completely extraordinary external spiral staircase, attached to the building in the 15th century. The palace served as a backdrop for the film Othello directed by Orson Welles.
- Where to stay: for those who are heading for excursion purposes to Venice, it is good to settle directly within the boundaries of the old city, but it is expensive. Budgetary - on the mainland, in the town of Mestre, which is 15 minutes away. For those wishing to combine beach holidays with excursions, the choice is much richer: this is the popular Lido di Jesolo, and his "younger brother" Bibione, one of the most prestigious resorts in the north of the Adriatic, and Lignano, ideal for families with children, and his cheerful neighbor Sabbiadoro, as well as picturesque Caorle.
- What to see: Padua - the city of St. Anthony in the late Gothic style, Vicenza, where the great architect of the Renaissance Andrea Palladio "inherited" the order, "Venice in miniature"
