The House of Donà, also known as Donato,[1] are an old patrician family in Venice, which produced two doges. The family has existed since at least the late twelfth century.[2] Until the sixteenth century, the family were merchants.[3] During that period, they bought land, which supported the family through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.[4] Around and throughout the nineteenth century, the family's wealth was significantly diminished due to the influences of the French Revolution and industrialisation.[5][3] The family is still surviving, and produced a number of business people in the twentieth century.[6]
