The Palazzo Zorzi Galeoni or Palazzo Zorzi a Rio San Severo is a Renaissance style palace of the Zorzi family (also spelled Giorgi) in the Sestiere of Castello, number 4930, in central Venice, Italy; it was designed after 1480 by Mauro Codussi. It lies a few streets away from Santa Maria Formosa, also designed by Codussi. There are a number of Zorzi palaces in Venice, including the Palazzo Zorzi Liassidi and Palazzo Zorzi Bon.
The Zorzi Galeoni in 2018 houses the offices of UNESCO in Venice.[1][2] The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture.[3]
