At the beginning of the 16th century Antonio Grimani gave his sons the family house then rebuilt by Antonio’s grandsons – Vettore, a Procurator of St. Mark’s and Giovanni, the Patriarch of Aquileia. The rich interior is decorated with outstanding stucco works and frescoes executed by mannerist artists such as Giovanni da Udine, Francesco Salviati, Camillo Mantovano, Francesco Menzocchi and Federico Zuccari. In 2008 the Palace reopened after a long restoration showing again its preciousness and a great choice of Giovanni Grimani's archeological collection in the beautiful Tribuna and in the courtyard, a unique place in the city.
