Palazzo Grassi was commissioned by the Grassi family, completed approximately in 1758 or 1772, and, is attributed to the architect Giorgio Massari. In 1983, the Fiat group commissioned Gae Aulenti to convert it to an exhibition space. In 2005, François Pinault hired Tadao Ando to remodel it. Palazzo Grassi, Venice Photo: © Matteo De Fina
