Palazzo Gussoni Grimani Della Vida, Renaissance palace in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy.

Located along the Grand Canal between Casa Velluti and Palazzetto Da Lezze, the palace displays a facade with horizontal and vertical tripartition and two four-light windows.

Between 1614 and 1618, English diplomat Sir Henry Wotton resided in the palace while serving as counselor to the Doge of Venice.

The palace housed the Accademia Delfica from 1647 to 1690, established by Francesco Gussoni as a center for intellectual gatherings and discussions.

Visitors can reach the palace by taking waterbus lines 1 or 2 to San Marcuola stop, situated 500 meters from the building.

The facade originally featured frescoes by Tintoretto depicting allegories of Dawn and Dusk, inspired by Michelangelo's sculptures, which disappeared due to moisture.
