Grassi Palace and its collection

Grassi Palace
Source

The Palazzo Grassi, also known as the Palazzo Grassi-Stucky, is a Venetian Classical style building located on the Grand Canal of Venice. It is situated between the Palazzo Moro Lin and the campo San Samuele. This location offers a unique view of the Grand Canal, one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city.

Restoration and Current Use of Palazzo Grassi

In 1983, the Fiat Group, under the late chairman Gianni Agnelli, purchased the Palazzo Grassi. The building underwent a complete restoration, overseen by architect Gae Aulenti. The aim was to transform the Palazzo Grassi into an exhibition hall for the visual arts. Today, it continues to serve as an art gallery, showcasing a variety of visual arts.

Ownership and Remodeling of Palazzo Grassi

In May 2005, French entrepreneur François Pinault purchased the Palazzo Grassi for 29 million euros. The building was remodeled by Japanese architect Tadao Ando and reopened in April 2006 with the exhibit 'Where Are We Going?'. The Palazzo is divided into 40 rooms, providing 5,000 square meters of exhibition floor, offering ample space for various art exhibitions.
