Palazzo Grassi
Palazzo Grassi Review
Built between 1748 and 1772 by Giorgio Massari for a Bolognese family, this palace is one of the last of the great noble residences on the Grand Canal. Once owned by auto magnate Giovanni Agnelli, it was bought by French businessman François Pinaut in 2005 to house his very important collection of modern and contemporary art. Pinaut brought in Japanese architect Tadao Ando to remodel the interior. Check online for a schedule of temporary exhibitions.
