Palazzo Grimani di San Luca, Renaissance palace in San Marco, Venice, Italy.
Palazzo Grimani di San Luca is a Renaissance palace in Venice that rises with its three-level facade directly on the Grand Canal between two other significant buildings. The facade features Corinthian columns, arched doors, and balustrades that give the structure an elegant and classical appearance.
The palace was designed by Michele Sanmicheli for procurator Gerolamo Grimani in 1557 and completed by Gian Giacomo de Grigi after Sanmicheli's death in 1561. The building later escaped destruction when Austrian authorities purchased it and established their postal headquarters there.
The architectural design of Palazzo Grimani influenced American architecture, serving as a model for the Tiffany and Company Building in New York by Stanford White.
The palace stands today on a busy stretch of the Grand Canal and offers visitors a clear view of Renaissance architecture from outside. The best view is obtained from the water or from nearby bridges, which provide good photo opportunities.
The facade of this palace served as a model for the Tiffany and Company Building in New York, designed by the renowned architect Stanford White. This connection shows how Venetian architecture influenced the modern world across the Atlantic.
