The [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] castle that was used by the Vrančić family as summer residence is now in possession of the Draganić family. Later in his life, in 1578, Fausto was married to Marieta Zar with whom had a daughter Alba-Roza, and possibly a son, who died young.<ref name="Soric"/> ===Education and political activities=== As a youth, under Antun's tutelage,<ref name="Soric"/> Veranzio was interested in science. While still a child, he moved to [[Venice]], where he attended school, and then to [[Padua]] to join the [[University of Padua|University]], where he focused on [[law]], [[physics]], [[engineering]] and [[mechanics]]. At the court of [[Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor|King Rudolf II]], at the [[Hradčany]] castle in [[Prague]], Veranzio was the chancellor for Hungary and [[Transylvania]], often in contact with [[Johannes Kepler]] and [[Tycho Brahe]]. After his wife's death,<ref>{{cite book|author1=Beate Henn-Memmesheimer|author2=David Gethin John|title=Cultural Link Kanada, Deutschland: Festschrift zum dreissigjährigen Bestehen eines akademischen Austauschs|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6r9y2f5OjVsC&pg=PA115|year=2003|publisher=Röhrig Universitätsverlag|isbn=978-3-86110-355-4|page=115}}</ref> Veranzio left for Hungary. In 1598, he received the title of [[Diocese of Csanád|bishop of Csanád]] (''Episcŏpus Csanadiensis'') ''[[in partibus]]'' (even though he never set foot in [[Cenad|Csanád]]). In 1609, back in Venice, he joined the brotherhood of [[Paul the Apostle|Paul of Tarsus]] ([[barnabites]]) and committed himself to the study of science. Veranzio died in 1617 in Venice and was buried in [[Dalmatia]], near his family's country house on the island of Prvić.
