Palazzo Brandolini for John andDodie Rosekrans

Venice, Italy

Tony Duquette and Hutton Wilkinson were asked by their clients John and Dodie Rosekrans after completing their apartment in Paris,"Where else in Europe can we find a house to live in?"  Tony and Hutton answered simultaneously, "VENICE!", and found the Piano Nobile of The Palazzo Brandolini on the Grand Canal to decorate for their clients.  Because Hutton served on the board of Save Venice, Inc. he was able to introduce the Rosekrans to the city’s elite and the completed project was photographed for Vogue and Town & Country magazines.
