Alvise Zorzi (10 June 1922 – 14 May 2016) was an Italian journalist and writer from the city of Venice.[1]

He was the son of Elio Zorzi, a journalist and the director of the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica of the Biennale di Venezia in the years immediately following World War II. He was the director of cultural programs for RAI, Italy's state television network and was a member of the UESCO committee for Venice.

Zorzi authored a number of books on the history and civilization of Venice, including biographies of Carlo Goldoni, Marco Polo, Titian and prominent denizens of the city of bridges. The final book he published during his lifetime is Napoleone a Venezia, which went into print in 2010.

gollark: I actually was able to find this "jmwloup5110" person's LinkedIn account by using the advanced technique of "putting their username into duckduckgo". It looks like they do actually work on... computery things, and not recruiting somehow. This is probably not actually a problem.
gollark: They haven't done any. They just said they were in the air force. Lots of introductions talk about jobs.
gollark: We would probably notice people doing recruitery things anyway. This is pointless.
