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 Giovanni Francesco Brusa, 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]
There are at four three other Dona palaces in Venice, the Palazzo Donà della Madoneta on the Grand Canal, the Palazzo Donà-Ottobon in Fondamenta San Severo in Castello, Palazzo Donà Balbi in Santa Croce, and the Palazzo Donà dalle Rose in Cannaregio.
