Temat O pelješkoj obitelji Lupis iz Nakovane i njenom riječkom ogranku Vinicije B. Lupis O PELJEŠKOJ OBITELJI LUPIS IZ NAKOVANE I NJENOM RIJEČKOM OGRANKU Vinicije B. Lupis Institut društvenih znanosti Ivo Pilar Područni centar Dubrovnik HR, 10 000 Zagreb Marulićev trg 19/I. [email protected] Sažetak Autor je na temelju arhivskog gradiva ukazao na obiteljske veze izumitelja torpeda Ivana Lupi- sa i njegovih rođakâ s poluotoka Pelješca iz mjesta Donja Nakovana, Lovište, Viganj i Kućište. Obitelj Lupis je latinizirana forma prezimena Vukić i Vukičević a pripada hrvatskim pelješkim pomorskim rodovima, iz kojih su potekli brojni kapetani, brodovlasnici, iseljenici, ali i poli- tičari i novinari. Ovaj rad je odgovor na neutemeljena pisanja o talijanskom porijeklu obitelji, koje je nastalo usljed neujednačenog pisanja prezimena. Arhivski dokumenti iz obitelji Lupis iz 18. stoljeća, kao i iz Državnog arhiva u Dubrovniku potvrdili su jasnu genealogiju riječkog ogranka roda Lupis. Ključne riječi: Lupis, Rijeka, Pelješac, obitelj, Donja Nakovana Poštovani čitatelji, teško je iz osobnog kuta, poglavito kao povjesničar pisati o svojoj obitelji, koju svojataju drugi narodi i izmišlja joj se legendarno porijeklo. Nama samima to ponekad izgleda smiješno, znajući da smo svi mi potekli iz istog pradoma – „U Vukića“ u Donjoj Nakovani na poluotoku Pelješcu, ali u konačnici treba i reagirati na te neistine. 7 Vinicije B. Lupis U Vukića (kuća u kojoj se rodio djed izumitelja torpeda), Donja Nakovana Cvitkov dvor, središnja kuća iz koje potječe cijela obitelj Lupis u Donjoj Nakovani 8 O pelješkoj obitelji Lupis iz Nakovane i njenom riječkom ogranku Uvod Možda nekada trebamo postupiti kao naši drevni pretci, koji su na jednom stećku zapisali: „I molju vas, ne nastupajte na me. Ja sam bil, kako vi jeste, vi ćete biti, kako jesam ja”. Svi smo od nekog, i nečiji, te svi imamo svoj rod i pleme. Ponavljam konstataciju, nezahvalno je objektivno pisati o svojoj obitelji, te sam ovu temu ostavljao godinama po strani, ali po- taknut pogriješkama u leksikografskim izdanjima, kao i u sve učestalijim polumitološkim izmišljotinama što se opetovano ponavljaju u brojnim člancima o više članova obitelji Lupis, i to ponajviše kada se to radi o riječkom ogranku obitelji i izmišljenom rodu Dojmi de Lupisa Frankopana.1 U ovom prilogu nećemo se baviti ulogom frakcije ili kako bi se reklo u pelješkom dijalektu „kazadi“ obitelji Lupis u riječkoj povijesti, već prije svega o neistinama o porijeklu koje kruže u medijima. Isto tako, nećemo se baviti detaljiziranjem iseljavanja obitelji Lupis u prekomorske krajeve i biografijom uglednog političara i novinara Ivana Lupisa Vukića iz Vignja, već će se pokušati dati okvirna slika porijekla obitelji Lupis, uz par biografi- ja daljnjih rođaka samog izumitelja torpeda. Danas na internetu postoje baze podataka s izmišljenim podatcima poput internetskog sajta: La Casata deli Lupi-Genealogia dei Lupis (de) poi Luppis e Dojmi-de Lupis: Linee di Dalmazia (con le linee Luppis von Rammer e Doimi de Lupis). Ovdje, se nalaze podatci koji za ogranak s područja Dubrovačke Repu- blike graniče sa znanstvenom fantastikom, gdje su mnogi članovi obitelji Lupis proglašeni plemićima. Na jednim elektronskim stranicama doslovno stoji za roditelje Ivana Lupisa Vukića s Rijeke: ”His parents were Ferdinando Carlo, nobleman of Poreč and Vis, and 1 Libro d’oro della nobiltà italiana, sv.

U ovom radu jasno ćemo iznijeti činjenice da Ferdinand Karlo Lupis nije nikakv porečki i viški plemić, već pori- jeklom Nakovjanin s poluotoka Pelješca, a niti je Ivanova majka Ivana Perić dubrovačka plemkinja, već dubrovačka pučanka.2 U talijanskog genealoškoj literaturi tako se nalazi zbrka oblika prezimena obitelji Lupis, kao i cijeli niz neutemeljenih neistina o obiteljskom podrijetlu, i gdje se vodi njeno porijeklo 2 http://www.genmarenostrum.com/pagine-lettere/letteral/Lupis/Lupis%20di%20Dalmazia.htm; http://www.lupis.it/stirpe.html (preuzeto u 8.h 3. 11. 2019.) Giovanni (Ivan) Biagio Luppis Frei- herr von Rammer (27 August 1813 – 11 January 1875), sometimes also known by the Croatian name of Vukić, was an officer of the Austro-Hungarian Navy who headed a commission to develop the first prototypes of the self-propelled torpedo. Giovanni Luppis (or Ivan Lupis) was born in the city of Rijeka (then Fiume) in 1813, which was at the time part of the Illyrian Provinces, but soon passed back to Austria. His parents were Ferdinando Carlo, nobleman of Poreč and Vis, and Giovanna Parich (Parić, Perić), noble of Republic of Dubrovnik. Because of his mixed Italian-Croatian ances- try, his family was at different times also known as Vukić, a Croatianized variant of the name Lupis (both meaning “wolf”), and he himself is occasionally referred to as Ivan Vukić, especially by Croa- tians. In the city of Fiume, Giovanni Luppis’s family has been powerful shipowners.Lupis attended a gymnasium in Fiume and the Collegio di marina, the Austrian naval academy in Venice. Then he married a noblewoman, the Baroness Elisa de Zotti. He served in the Venezianisch-Österreichische Kriegsmarine (after 1849 K.u.K Kriegsmarine and rose up the ranks to the position of Frigate Cap- tain (Fregattenkapitan). In 1848/1849 he was an officer on the ships that blockaded Venice.About the middle in the 18th century, an officer of the Austrian Marine Artillery conceived the idea of employing a small boat carrying a large charge of explosives, powered by a steam or an air engine and remotely steered by cable to be used against enemy ships. Upon his death, before he had perfected his invention or made it public, the papers of this anonymous officer came into the possession of Capt. Giovanni Luppis. (….) After numerous experiments, this design, marked ‘6 m’, finally per- formed but not well enough. He nicknamed it ‘Salvacoste’, Italian for “Coastsaver”. In 1860, after Luppis had retired from the Navy, he managed to demonstrate the ‘6 m’ design to the Emperor Franz Joseph, but the naval commission refused to accept it without better propulsion and control systems. In Fiume in 1864, the future mayor Giovanni de Ciotta introduced Luppis to the British machine engineer Robert Whitehead, manager of the local factory “Stabilimento Tecnico Fiumano”, with whom he signed a contract to develop the ‘salvacoste’ further.

  • EARLY DEVELOPMENT and STABILIZATION of the Whitehead TORPEDO
    II. MEđuNARODNA KONFERENCIJA O INDUSTRIJSKOJ BAštINI 331 EARLY DEVELOPMENT AND STABILIZATION OF THE WHITEHEAD TORPEDO Rani razvoj i stabilizacija Whiteheadova torpeda Dipl. Ing. Helmut W. Malnig* Osterreische Ingenieur und Architeckten – Verein, Vienna, Austria Summary In the face of a superior French fleet which harassed the Northern Adriatic and the Quarnero in 1859 the Austrian chemist / mechanic Franz Pfeifer proposed the idea of an unmanned littoral explosive boat to the Austrian admirality. This was realized in 1864 by the Imperial-Royal Commander (k.k. Fregattenkapitän) Giovanni Lup- pis (1813 – 1875), a native of Fiume (Rijeka), who built a model of an automotive (spring- driven), line-guided explosive boat – the “Salvacoste”. Due to inherent design deficiencies the Austrian naval authorities requested the ingenious English engineer and industrialist Robert Whitehead (1823 – 1905) in Fiume, where his company STF was employed on government contracts, to cooperate with Luppis.1866 the resulting weapon the “Whitehead fish-torpedo”- differed considerably to the dismay of Luppis from his original concept It was a fully submersible, automotive, and stealth weapon, conceived to deliver a lethal punch into the soft belly of an enemy ship. Depth was at first erratic but later regulated by an improved hydrostatic device the: “Whitehead’s Se- cret”. Lateral stabilization via launching tube and fins still proved inadequate at longer range, though 1872 uni-axially counter-rotating propellers improved the situation. The torpedo revolutionized naval warfare: novel ship. types and –building, naval thought and tactics were affected. No patents were applied for protection of this inven- tion and the k.k. Marine waived any priority claims.

  • Robert Whitehead – the English Engineer
    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 85 ROBERT WHITEHEAD – THE ENGLISH ENGINEER Edwyn Gray Research service, Attleborough, England When Robert Whitehead died on November 14th 1905 the Times newspaper drew attention to his lack of official recognition in England and observed: ‘Quite unaccountably (his invention) has brought him no public recognition in the form of honours or distinctions he received (an) abundance, but he must have felt, as we believe he did, that the neglect of his own country was thereby rendered the more conspicuous’.(1) Despite the publication of Robert’s biography in 1975 followed by the enlarged edition issued by the Naval Institute Press in 1991, his engineering achievements and his influence on naval warfare remain largely unacknowledged and unremembered in Britain beyond the restricted circles of naval history enthusiasts. It is ironic, therefore, that in has fallen to Croatia, and in particular, Rijeka, to honour him in this conference. Family letters reveal that the ‘old gentleman’ relished the glittering foreign honours he received from all over the world during his lifetime and I am quite sure he would have been both astonished and pleased by this tribute to his work by the citizens of Rijeka whom he truly loved, respected, and admired.(2) In a letter to her brother James, Whitehead’s daughter Alice revealed her father’s delithted reaction to various proposals by the local townspeople to honour him when he paid off the debts of the bankrupt Stabilmento Tecnico Fiumano on purchasing the factory in 1875 although he was under no legal obligation to do so.

  • Rijeka's Torpedo Launch Pad Station Preservation
    RIJEKA’S TORPEDO LAUNCH PAD STATION PRESERVATION Ivan Marović University of Rijeka, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Rijeka, Croatia [email protected] Ivica Završki University of Zagreb, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Diana Car-Pušić University of Rijeka, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Rijeka, Croatia [email protected] From the middle of 19th century till the middle of 20th century Rijeka’s industrial developments were known world wide. One such unique and genuine development for sure is a torpedo. Every torpedo had to pass very difficult testing processes therefore it was necessary to build such facility which enabled simulation of all launch positions. Today, Torpedo launch pad station facility has attribute of cultural good although is rather devastated. Consequently, this paper will give an overview of what should have been done and was not, and an overview of what is being done to salvage and preserve such an important and unique monument of technological activities of Rijeka and its citizens that endures time. KEYWORDS: industrial heritage, maintenance management, preservation, reuse. INTRODUCTION City of Rijeka is situated on the shore of Kvarner bay, the northernmost part of Adriatic Sea, where the Mediterranean is closest to the countries of middle Europe. As being in background of Kvarner, Dinaric Alps are at lowest altitude therefore is the easiest crossover from sea side deeper into land towards European countries. Good geographical position of Rijeka provided good communication post, which was first noticed by Romans and Greeks, and can be found in charts of famous chart maker Claudius Ptolemaeus. Industrial developments in Rijeka are strictly connected with developments which followed the Industrial Revolution such as development of steam engine.

  • Development of the Whitehead Torpedo in Rijeka and the Impact to the World Navies
    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 105 DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHITEHEAD TORPEDO IN RIJEKA AND THE IMPACT TO THE WORLD NAVIES Nikolaus A. Sifferlinger, dipl. ing. St. Stefan, Austria INTRODUCTION The new automotive “fish torpedo” developed by Robert Whitehead in Rijeka/Fiume had a major influence on the naval situation and within ten years all important navies had taken licences to use the Whitehead torpedo. This paper focuses on the development and the following “race” to introduce the torpedo in the major navies. It is based mainly on sources from Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and the USA. Excellent publications on the history of the torpedo and the Whitehead Factory are from Edwyn Gray1 and from Antonio Casali/Marina Cattaruzza2. The Torpedo Factory in Rijeka was one of the leading research and production facilities until 1914 and the torpedo itself is still a major naval weapon in the 21st century. THE EARLY DEVICES The idea to attack ships or objects by explosives is old and floating mines were used a long time. Examples are the mining vessels used by the Italian engineer Frederico Gianibelli to blow up the Spanish barrier across the river Scheldt3 in 1585 or the concept of the spar torpedo by the Dutchman Cornelius von Drebbel, demonstrated at the river Thames as early as 1620 in front of King James I. 1 Gray Edwyn, The Devil´s Device, Robert Whitehead and the History of the Torpedo, 1991. Hereafter cited as Gray 2 Casali Antonio, Cattaruzza Marina, Sotto i mari del mondo, La Whitehead 1875-1999.
