Jérôme Zieseniss, president of the French Committee for the Safeguarding of Venice, died at the age of 75 of a stroke in Madrid on February 19. He will be buried on March 9 in Venice, his adopted city.
He leaves behind the satisfaction of having succeeded in restoring the 25 rooms of the city's Royal Palace. He was an esthete, a character whose elegance, dress and manners were from another time, said his friend François Pignol.
