A sense of occasion
While working on the renovation of the Piano Nobile at Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, I was fascinated by the bold vision of architect Gian Battista Meduna who, in the 19th century restoration of the place, added a water closet or bath salon within a grand historical room, adorned with frescoes and hand painted walls.
This audacious grafting sparked my desire to develop ‘wonder cabinets’ that I reinterpreted in each of the signature suites, in a node to the Orient Express art of travel and the rituals of Venetian life.
The cinematic journey is marked by whimsical perspectives between spaces and functions, adding glamour to the continuous discoveries from bedroom to dressing room, crossed over by a lush and unexpected bathroom.
References to the 1900s golden age unfold with precious details of wood marquetry, brass inserts, silky velvets and a play on reflective hand crafted surfaces, while walls dress up in colori persi silk moiré.
In the Orient Express Suite, the dressing room is grounded by these evocative overscale trunks, facing a mineral bath salon where the marble is softly sculpted like a gracious drape. The veins talking to the rippling movement of light and shadows on the walls.
The curved Georgia sofa’s pastel sensual shapes respond to the baroque decors with modernity, giving the act of getting ready, a sense of occasion.

Spirit of place
With a deep reverence for its layered legacy, I imagined the architectural transformation of Palazzo Dona Giovannelli .venezia steeped in the spirit of place. I wanted guests to feel the essence of a home, the layers of time and the centuries of joy and devotion that left their mark.
This is a residence that has passed through generations of noble families, from the Duke of Urbino to the Donà to the Giovanelli families. A place that does not reveal itself all at once, but unfolds gradually through movement, perception, and time.
My thinking moves beyond preservation. It is about encounter, between past and present, between place and story. Between old soul and timeless creations.

At la Corte del Conte’s lobby, what was once an open courtyard passage is now a generous living room, a place of gathering, encounter, and shared presence. I introduced an architectural box imagined like a majestic library: an interior architecture within the architecture itself, that transforms the space by encompassing the necessary technical functionalities, seamlessly, invoking timeless elegance and natural flair.
What adds to the singular atmosphere is the thoughtfully gathered antiques and curated objects. The palette of muted velvets and silks that look brushed like in a painting. From the 17th century tapestry that was carefully hunted for its unique naval conquest scene, flanked by a pair of 1900s chairs I found in the antique market, to the draped Roman sculpture from the 3d century, or the 1960s tables in slate and brass composed with timeless contemporary seating and the reinterpreted Venetian proportion of the stone tables in Pietra d’istria, a sense of permanence in motion permeates the room.

The power of tenderness
When I first stepped into Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, I encountered beauty in unprecedented ways. Fragments of past galore, whispering walls, and the lost colors of mythology. The “colori persi” suite is named after the 16th-century pigment appelation and poetic lore, meaning “lost colors.” Not gone, but rediscovered. Faded fragments of myth and memory, brought forward with modern intention.
In this luminous corner suite, Venice is retold in color through hues we almost forgot we knew. The salon opens in a wash of light. Above the canopy bed dressed to embrace history, Eugenio Moretti Larese’s 1860 ceiling unfurls in NeoRococo splendor.

Dream of the Desert train, by night
The journey starts in Riyad through the mystical Arabian desert crossing the wonders of Al Ula, Madain Saleh, Al Jouf, into the rich tapestry of the kingdom’s cultural heritage.
In the curated wagons, every detail is thoughtfully considered. Rich wood marquetry, plush sandy velvets adorned with traditional trimmings, engraved glass and tinted mirrors, compose a visual palette that speaks to the desert’s quiet opulence. Infinite perspectives expand the voyage lit by the whimsical´nafous’, the reinterpreted Saudi lanterns, casting a cinematic glow. A gentle light, never too bright, to whisper below the desert stars.

Grateful, on repeat ☘️
« I didn’t want to impose a new vision but instead rediscover the energy already present, explains on transforming Palazzo Donà Giovannelli into the new .venezia , which includes 47 guest rooms, six suites, and two apartment-style units. D’Amman revived original features of the historic space while enlivening the hotel by adding richly figured marbles, plush velvets, bright silks, and burnished brass—a palette that evokes the golden age of rail travel.

« Quand je suis allé à Venise, cela me paraissait incroyable et si simple que mon rêve fût devenu mon adresse » disait Marcel Proust. Comment ne pas partager son émerveillement, chaque jour, pendant ces huit années de rénovation du Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, siège de l’hôtel Orient Express Venezia, à Cannaregio, au coeur du premier sestiere de la sérénissime.

Merci .hemonet pour avoir capturé l’essence de cette aventure de vie pour un architecte !

In Venice, the stones speak with their veins, colors and textures about the flesh of time.
From the storied marbles of Basilica San Marco to the intricate pavements of Ca’ d’Oro floors, I tried to invoke the spirit of place into the bath salons of Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, a place of ritual and quietness reflecting on the Serenissima’s enduring romance with stone, sculpted and pleated like architectural forms.
“Je me sens décharné de toute la planète, sauf de Venise, sauf de Saint-Marc, mosquée dont le pavement déclive et boursouflé ressemble à des tapis de prière juxtaposés”, Paul Morand.

The Cherubini signature suite .venezia
is named for the cherubs that run across its walls, recalling that Venetian grandeur has always made room for joy. High along the walls, a rediscovered frieze by Sebastiano Santi runs like a ribbon: dancing putti, women playing ancient instruments, movement caught mid-song. Above it, another layer of renaissance faces crowns the space with wisdom and poetry.
I wanted to respond to these multiple layers of history with a thoughtful intervention, embracing the legacy and adding character with a contemporary approach. A new interior architecture is brought to the room respecting the visual continuity of the frieze and ceiling crown. A modern grafting within the space that evokes the idea of giant trunks dedicated to host a dressing room, a bath salon, and let the living room unfold with grace. The theatrical gesture is not only functional, encompassing all the technical needs to transform an empty historical salon, once only furnished with lose elements. It elevates the space into a truly inhabited and spectacular suite, embracing its heritage and giving it a new lease of life.
A node to the Orient Express realm, these extra-large trunks are treated like wonder cabinets, underlined with wood marquetry and brass inserts, embellished with etched mirrors that reflect the surrounding historical features. Permeated with crafted details recalling the 1930s distinctive atmosphere, they host outstanding vintage Venetian finds and objets d’art that spark imagination.
The contemporary seating specially crafted for the palazzo’s interior welcomes nowness and modern comfort while moiré silky richly padded walls evoke the laguna’s rippling waters movement playing with Murano chandeliers in a quiet sense of theatre.
The bathroom is treated like a ‘salons de bain’, its exquisite marbles in dialog with the Cherubini frescoes are a node to Venice’s enduring romance with
stone, sculpted and pleated like architectural forms.

Orient Express Venezia at Palazzo Dona Giovannelli is a a voyage into Venetian splendor
Just off Gian Batista Meduna’s octagonal staircase, on the Piano Nobile, Sala della Cultura is a salon built on ideas and encounters. Here, Venice comes into focus as it has always been: a cosmopolitan crossroad where East and West, scholarship and spectacle, share the same address. The ceiling is painted in a Gothic Revival style. Lapis-lazuli skies are crossed with golden carved cordons that frame noble family crests like constellations. Floors are adorned with semi precious stones and delicate mosaics, revived and meticulously restored. Plush velvet conversational sofas ground the space composing a luxuriant and inviting scene with an orientalist touch, in dialog with the washed blue marmorino walls. Silk cushions with fortuny fabrics capture the spirit of place and the soft colors of the hand painted decorated panels.
A bespoke cabinet ensemble crafted in bronze, textured glass and etched mirrors captures fragments of the past with modern presence. Adorned with silk lanterns and a magnificent collection of antique Venetian glasses, it’s ready to host celebrations and moments of quiet wonder.
The marble pedestals in vibrant cippolino elevate the flowers to art, in conversation with Giuseppe Voltan’s floral frescoes. These florals became an absolute personal obsession to the point of inspiring every flower composition in the Palazzo and the garden whimsical evolution where nature and legacy converge.
