Built in the 18C by Giorgi Massari, this is the last of the great Venetian palaces to be built before the fall of the Venetian Republic. It was purchased in 2005 by French tycoon François Pinault, who commissioned Japanese architect Tadao Ando to remodel it with a view to displaying his particularly rich art collection: over 2,000 works, ranging from Arte Povera to Pop Art and everything in between.
