Where we are

Venetian Palazzo Zorzi has been restored by the Italian Government and is generously placed at the disposal of the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe by the Municipality of Venice.

Palazzo Zorzi building dates back to the XIV century and was designed by the Italian architect Mauro Codussi around 1480 reutilizing some foundations and walls of a series of older buildings built during the XIVth century.

It is situated in the sestiere of Castello (one of the 6 "sestieri" or areas of Venice), near Campo Santa Maria Formosa, and not far from Piazza San Marco, Riva degli Schiavoni and the Church of San Zaccaria.
