Vittorino Veronese (1 March 1910 – 3 September 1986) was an Italian anti-fascist lawyer and activist who served as UNESCO’s Director-General from 1958 to 1961.[2] Before his appointment as UNESCO’s Director-General he served as Chairman of the Catholic Institute for Social Activity and of Azione Cattolica.[3] From 1952 to 1956 he served on UNESCO’s board and was UNESCO’s chairperson from 1956 to 1958.[4] Three years after the appointment as the Director-General, Veronese had to resign due to health concerns.[5]
Veronese would continue to hold roles within the Catholic Church after his career with UNESCO, and to be prominent in the international sphere until his death in 1986 at the age of 76.
