History

A palace at the site originally belonged to Zane, then refurbished in the 17th century and housing branches of the Querini and Dona families. It was known as Palazzo Dubois, after the well-known banker who lived there in the nineteenth century. It also once served as Autrio-Hungarian consulate in late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1]
