2394: Verrazzano & Verrazano Jul 9, 2021

Plenty of things around New York are named for Giovanni da Verrazzano. Many of these if not all however are mispelt. It is not entirely clear as to how things ended up this way, but major construction projects such as the Verrazano Bridge are only spelt with one Z. Likewise, the Maryland's Verrazano Bridge has this same error.
