Palazzo Grassi
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAL : Palazzo Grassi
Palazzo Grassi is a monumental marble mansion that once belonged to the Grassi family in Venice, Italy. Sold by the Grassi family in 1840, it has fallen under the ownership of many different individuals. Most recently the Pallazzo was purchased by the FIAT group in 1983. Their aim was to transform the building into an exhibition space for the arts, which it has remained to this day. It is situated on the Grand Canal of Venice and is now a world renowned art and history museum with a 600 seat outdoor theatre.
