The family's main residence was in city of Sibenik. Also they owned a big summer house on the island of Prvic, in a place called Sepurine, (neighbouring to Prvic Luka) there he is buried in local church. The baroque castle that was used by  Veranzio family as summer residence is now in possession of  the Draganich family.

As a child, he moved to Venice, where he attended schools, and then to Padua to join the University of Padua, where he focused on law, physics, engineering and mechanics.

At the court of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor/King Rudolf II, in Hradcany Castle, in Prague, Veranzio was chancellor for Hungary and Transylvania often in contact with Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe. After his wife's death, Veranzio left for Hungary. In 1598, he got the title of ''Episcŏpus Csanadiensis''. In 1609, back in Venice, he joined the brotherhood of Paul of Tarsus/Saint Paul of Tarsus  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.

His areas of interest in engineering and mechanics were broad. Mills were one of his main point of research, where he created 18 different designs. He envisioned windmills with both vertical and horizontal Axis of rotation/axes, with different wing constructions to improve their efficiency. The idea of a mill powered by tides incorporated accumulation pools filled with water by the high tide and emptied when the tide ebbed, simply using gravity; the concept has just recently been engineered and used.
