Palazzo Grassi
The three-storied
Palazzo Grassi, of which the relatively
plain facade decoration incorporates
both Baroque and Classical features,
was constructed in the mid-18th century
from plans by the architect Giorgio
Massari. He decided on a ground plan,
unusual in Venice, which involved
building around an extended rectangular
courtyard.
The Palazzo
was built for the Grassi family who
lived there until the beginning of
the 20th century. Then it was bought
by the civic authorities and used
as a museum and congress center. When
the Fiat Motor Company acquired the
palace extensive restoration was undertaken
in 1985, with the idea of recreating
the original structure. However, this
intention was not strictly carried
out. For example - even if it is technically
improved - the roofing over of the
inner courtyard, carried out in 1951,
has meant that the usefulness of the
palazzo has been maintained. With
the aim of converting the building
into a cultural center of the first
rank the artistic direction was entrusted
to the internationally well-known
Swede Pontus Hulten. He organized
an opening exhibition in the summer
of 1986 which proved very successful.
In future this stately building will
house a comprehensive summer exhibition
and a smaller one in winter, as well
as creating a home for theatrical
and musical events.
