Palazzo Grassi on Venice's Grand Canal was designed by Giorgio Massari and built from 1748 to 1772, with the infobox and text in agreement. Gae Aulenti oversaw the 1980s restoration, and Tadao Ando handled the 2006 remodel and the 2013 Teatrino redesign. The Fiat Group owned it from 1983, and François Pinault bought it in 2005 for 29 million euros. The article names no original client.
The article calls the style Venetian Classical, with a white marble facade. It has 40 rooms and 5,000 square meters of exhibition space.
The International Centre of Arts and Costume operated there from 1951 to 1983. Aldo Rossi received the Pritzker Prize in the building in 1990. The palazzo reopened in 2006 after Ando's remodel, and the Teatrino became a 225-seat auditorium in 2013. It is an art gallery hosting temporary exhibitions from the Pinault Collection.
