Grado, with Roman origins, emerged in the 2nd century AD as a fishing village and port for ships traveling up the Natissa River towards Aquileia. In the 5th century AD, during the invasion of the Huns led by Attila, many residents sought refuge on the island, shaping the city's development. The Patriarch of Aquileia relocated to Grado during this period, establishing it as an autonomous patriarchal seat until 1451. Subsequently, Grado reverted to being a fishing village under the rule of the Republic of Venice. From 1797 to 1918, it was part of the Austrian domains.

In 1892, the Austro-Hungarian Empire established a resort in Grado to promote its seaside attractions and the therapeutic qualities of its "strong sea vapor." In 1856, writer Ippolito Nievo visited the island, drawing inspiration for the novella "Le maghe di Grado." In 1873, pediatrician Giuseppe Barellai founded the Marino Hospice for the treatment of respiratory diseases.

In 1936, Grado was permanently connected to the mainland with a revolving bridge, ending its isolation. Throughout the 20th century, the seaside village hosted notable figures such as Sigmund Freud, Luigi Pirandello, and Maria Callas, who starred in Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1969 film "Medea," filmed on the islet of Mota Safon.

Grado, known as the "Island of the Sun," boasts a beach facing the Adriatic Sea, offering an experience of sea, sun, and an truly imperial climate. Its designation is not accidental, as it enjoys a microclimate rich in iodine, making it an ideal place for thalassotherapy.

Its waters, with gentle seabeds, embrace expansive beaches of very fine sand, characterized by numerous therapeutic properties. These beaches are exposed to the sun throughout the day, contributing to creating an ideal environment for relaxation and well-being. The mild climate and ionized air complete the unique atmosphere of Grado, making it a cherished destination for those seeking a retreat for health and tranquility.
