Conservative restoration of Palazzo Grassi, Venice

The intervention was motivated by the need to use the eighteenth-century building as an exhibition and museum space, thus respecting the original internal distribution layout and adapting the structures to make them capable of withstanding the loads foreseen by the technical regulations for buildings open to the public and positioning modern technological systems, without affecting the original architecture. The plasters were made by reproducing an ancient and typical Venetian solution: marmorino; for this process, the ancient executive techniques and the same mixtures of materials were respected.
