Let yourself be enchanted by candlelight, soft music, and the magic of Renaissance dances. The Ballo Dalle Rose is more than a party—it’s a dream you can live.
The Venue: Palazzo Donà Dalle Rose
Built in the 17th century by Doge Leonardo Donà, the palace overlooks the Fondamenta Nove with views of Murano and the northern lagoon. Its grand entry hall and richly decorated Piano Nobile have hosted countless Venetian celebrations over the centuries.
