Drone footage reveals Venice venues from above
Professional drones have captured aerial footage of Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana in Venice, offering a bird's-eye view of François Pinault's two cultural landmarks. The videos, both interior and exterior, contextualize the buildings within Venice's unique urban landscape. Mauro Baronchelli, operations director of Palazzo Grassi, stated the intent was to highlight the architectural merit and the surprising active dialogue these spaces maintain with contemporary art. A third video, focusing on the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi—the auditorium designed by Tadao Ando and inaugurated in 2013—will be released soon. The project is part of a series exploring Pinault Collection venues in Venice.
