Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi

Venice


A separate entity to Palazzo Grassi, Teatrino Palazzo Grassi has a 225-seat auditorium that hosts a wide range of cultural events, from live concerts to video art and lectures. Designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, the impressive spaces are an artwork in themselves.

Casa delle Parole events take place here, where literary texts are read in their native language, followed by the Italian translation.
