It was bought by Fiat in 1983. Giovanni Agnelli entrusted the adaptation of Palazzo Grassi to its new function to the Milanese architect Gae Aulenti - who was in charge of designing the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Palazzo Grassi was sold in 2005 and Gae Aulenti's furniture was decommissioned and sold. Bibliography: M. Petranzan, Gae Aulenti, Rizzoli Publishing - New York 1996.
