A Venetian Count and His Palace – Private Experience in Venice
Enjoy an exclusive encounter with a Count from one of Venice’s most ancient and noble families. Our charming Count is one of Venice’s most famous residents and has his own TV series as well as having authored numerous books. With a family as old as Venice itself you’ll enjoy personally hearing all about his authentic Venice as a personal guest in his beautiful Venetian palace.
An Exclusive Encounter with a Venetian Count
This private experience opens doors that remain closed to the public. You are welcomed into the Count’s own palace, where he personally shares stories of his family—one of the oldest lineages in Venice—and insights into the city he has chronicled in books and television programs.
Step Inside an Authentic Venetian Palace
Enter elegant rooms that reflect centuries of Venetian history. The palace holds artwork, heirlooms, and architectural details that speak to the family’s long connection to the Republic. This is not a museum visit—it is a privileged invitation into a living home.
A Personal Conversation with a Member of the Venetian Nobility
The Count is known for his warm personality and wealth of knowledge. He speaks about Venetian traditions, aristocratic customs, and the hidden Venice that only locals of noble birth truly understand. Feel free to ask questions and engage in conversation—this is an intimate, interactive experience.
Discover Venice Through Noble Eyes
Hear stories that move beyond history books: tales of family life, politics of the Republic, Palazzo etiquette, and secret anecdotes passed through generations. It is a rare chance to understand Venice from the perspective of a family as old as the city itself.

A truly unforgettable insider experience in Venice
For over a thousand years, Venice was governed by its noble families, whose palaces lined the Grand Canal and shaped the life of the Republic. These families played crucial roles in trade, politics, diplomacy, and culture. Many palazzi remain privately owned today, preserving traditions, stories, and archives passed through generations. Meeting a Venetian Count offers rare firsthand insight into this aristocratic world and the enduring legacy of Venice’s noble lineage.
