Erasmo Castellani Cultural Brokers. the Bolizza Brothers of Kotor and Their Relazione I Was in Zadar, Croatia, for a Couple of W Erasmo Castellani Cultural brokers. The Bolizza brothers of Kotor and their Relazione I was in Zadar, Croatia, for a couple of weeks, looking for archival material for my master thesis. The last day of my stay, almost accidentally, while going through the catalog of the Scientific Library, I found something that caught my eyes. Filed under the letter “S” of Giuseppe Scarpi, a man who donated several documents to the library regarding the Venetian Dalmatia, was the record of an intriguing report describing the southernmost Dalmatian stronghold of the Venetian Republic. “Bolizza, Fr. Relazione del Montenero, Scutari, Antivari e Dulcigno”1 detailed the territories around the city of Cattaro, modern day Kotor, on the coasts of Montenegro. The author, Francesco Bolizza, was a familiar name to me: since 1578 his family organized the public correspondence between Venice and Constantinople. Francesco and two of his brothers, Mariano and Antonio, were also often summoned by the rettore – the Venetian Governor of Kotor – to negotiate with Turkish officials and local chieftains. Yet, it was classified as an eighteenth-century manuscript; could it really come from the hand of “that” Francesco Bolizza? If so, what might the Relazione be about? Which kind of information Francesco Bolizza traded in in his role as one of Kotor’s leading figures at the end of the sixteenth century? When it finally arrived on my desk, I started skimming the text. I immediately noted that the author was the Francesco Bolizza that I knew. It was an account 1 “Report of Montenegro, Shkoder, Bar and Ulcinj”. Znanstvena knjižnica Zadar from now ZKZ), inv. 11169, ms. 164. From now: Relazione Zadar. 1 of the surrounding territories of Kotor, in which the author described in details cities, villages, people, and the natural environment of that southern part of the Balkans shared between today’s Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Kosovo. Moreover, the account designated the journey from Kotor to Constantinople made by couriers to deliver public dispatches to the Bailo, the Venetian diplomat who oversaw the affairs between Venice and the Ottoman Empire. Would it shed a light on the postal service, an important, yet little – and poorly – studied part of the Venetian Empire? Dating the manuscript raised additional and even more puzzling problems, however. While not dated, the manuscript mentioned events of the first 15 years of the 1600s, in which Francesco was often involved. Born in 1566, the author he refers to himself as Cavalier, knight of Saint Mark, the most important chivalric order of the Venetian Republic, an order which Francesco joined in 1616. On the last page, however, was written a much later date: April 26th, 1699. Since it is unlikely that Francesco lived over 130 years,2 I assumed that it was a copy of the manuscript, in which the unknown copyist added material that was consistent with the rest of the text: following the format, the 2 We can deduce Francesco’s age collating a few documents: a petition to the Venetian Signory submitted in 1620, in which he claimed that he received his father’s office when he was only 12. Also, we have to consider two contracts: the first one, dated 1578, in which Giovanni Bolizza, father Francesco, received an office from Venice, and another one, from 1604, in which the office officially passed to Francesco, after his father’s death. Finally, we know that he joined the Knight of Saint Mark in 1616. Being unlikely that Francesco was honored with such title when he was only 24, we have to understand the ambiguous formulation in the petition referring to the first contract that his father signed in 1578, in which he was just mentioned among Giovanni’s children. Hence, Francesco was born probably in 1566. See Archivio di Stato di Venezia (from now: ASV), Dispacci, f. 3, 04/12/1604; ASV, Risposte di fuori, f. 373, 16/09/1620; ASV, Mar, reg. 44 (1578-80), cc. 64v-66v; ASV, Cancelleria inferiore, Cavalieri di San Marco, Privilegi, b. 174. 2 transcriber added a list of newly acquired towns and villages which passed under the Venetian rule at the end of the Morean War, exactly in 1699. What purpose could a seventy-year old report filled with detailed descriptions of military and travel conditions ca. 1616 possibly serve in 1699? This was one of the first questions about the document which was doomed to remain unanswered. Perhaps it was still considered a valuable tool to familiarize with that area, perhaps it was a way of celebrating someone who had been arguably one of the most relevant person of his time in Kotor. Hopefully, a deeper reading of the source would have provide some valuable insights. Being Friday the library closed early. I was able to take several notes, transcribe certain passages, but I did not have the opportunity to take pictures of the manuscript. In the afternoon I had to leave and go back to Venice. It was unfortunate that I did not have much time to analyze the manuscript, but I had enough information to work on. Back in Venice, I discovered that there were multiple copies of the manuscript. One is in the State Archives of Venice,3 and its content is word by word the same of the version I found in Zadar, and differs only in its layout and a few minor misspellings. In the archival inventories it appeared that there was another version of the document, but unfortunately it was lost in 2010, so I did not have the chance to see it. A third version is available in the Marciana library of Venice, and this one has also been published in 1866 by monsieur 3 ASV, Miscellanea codici, Storia veneta, b. 131. From now: Relatione ASV. 3 François Lenormant.4 According to Injac Zamputi,5 the National Library of Albania, in Tirana, has another version exactly alike the Marciana text, and, like the former, it has been published – and translated both in Albanian and in English – in recent years. My efforts to have the reproduction of this manuscript have been vain, as much as having its archival reference, but I have read its (alleged) transcription and all I can say is that it is the carbon copy of the Marciana version. Hence, I will not consider this one in my analysis. The text of the three versions is for the most part identical. The opening of the manuscript summarizes the discussed topics: Provided here is information on: how many parts this duchy [of Shkoder] is divided into, how many and which towns it has…who in particular are the commanders of these villages, what the rites…and how many men in arms can be supplied by them. Provided here, too, is information on the journeys made by the couriers of public dispatches to Constantinople, using the old routes and the new ones…Consideration is also given as to how the State ought to be interested in ensuring that the dispatches are sent by one route or another. Lists are provided with the names of towns visited and stops made by the above mentioned couriers every day on their trips from Kotor to Constantinople. A detailed description is then provided of the harbors, rivers and ports for vessels along the coast from Antivari 4 Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, mss. it. Cl. VI nr. 176; François Lenormant, Turcs et Monténégrins. Paris, Libraire Acadèmique, Didier & Ce, Libraires Editeurs, 1866. From now: Relatione Marciana. 5 Injac Zamputi (ed.): Relacione mbi gjendjen e Shqipërisë veriore dhe të mesme në shekullin XVII. vol. 1, Tirana 1963. 4 (Bar) to Vellona (Vlorë)…Brief information is also provided about…the rebellious highlanders who border on Podgorica and who are under the jurisdiction of the Turks who themselves have moved twice…to put the highlanders down… Finally, a description is provided of the towns of Castelnovo (Hercegnovi) and Risano (Risan) with their villages, which are subject to the Duchy and Sanjak of Hercegovina and are situated at the border, on the coast of the Bay of Kotor.6 From the beginning it was clear the composite nature of the Relazione, which appear to be a collection of accounts taken in different moments, for different purposes and…from different people. In fact, the subjects listed resonated immediately with the dispatches and the reports given at the end of their terms by the rettori of Kotor, the Venetian noblemen who served as representatives of the Most Serene Republic in the Dalmatian city. Slight, but telling differences in the different versions of the manuscript hint at the report’s repeated use and adaptation to different circumstances. As I mentioned before, the Zadar’s version and the one of the State Archives are almost identical, and they are either copies of the same variant, or one has been the model of the other. It is difficult though to identify the “original” one. The Venetian one appears to be written on older paper, of the same kind of that used by the official correspondence of the Venetian government between seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while the one from Zadar looks like a late eighteenth-early nineteenth century paper. The same thing can be said 6 The English translations of the Relatione Marciana are taken from: Robert Elsie, Early Albania, a Reader of Historical Texts, 11th - 17th Centuries, Wiesbaden, 2003; p. 140. 5 about the handwriting: more compact and frenzied the Venetian, more elegant, light and spacious the one from Zadar. Yet in the former the lists of villages and their data, for example, are not organized in charts as in the latter, and in general the different chapters are not separated from each other.

  • Montenegro Old and New: History, Politics, Culture, and the People
    60 ZuZana Poláčková; Pieter van Duin Montenegro Old and New: History, Politics, Culture, and the People The authors are focusing on how Montenegro today is coming to terms with the task of becoming a modern European nation, which implies recognition not only of democracy, the rule of law, and so forth, but also of a degree of ‘multiculturalism’, that is recognition of the existence of cultural, ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities in a society that is dominated by a Slavic Orthodox majority. In his context they are analyzing the history of the struggle of the Montenegrin people against a host of foreign invaders – after they had ceased to be invaders themselves – and especially their apparently consistent refusal to accept Ottoman sovereignty over their homeland seemed to make them the most remarkable freedom fighters imaginable and led to the creation of a special Montenegrin image in Europe. This im- age of heroic stubbornness and unique martial bravery was even consciously cultivated in Western and Central Europe from the early nineteenth century onwards, as the Greeks, the Serbs, the Montenegrins and other Balkan peoples began to resist the Ottoman Empire in a more effective way and the force of Romantic nationalism began to influence the whole of Europe, from German historians to British politi- cians, and also including Montenegrin and Serbian poets themselves. And what about the present situa- tion? The authors of this essay carried out an improvised piece of investigation into current conditions, attitudes, and feelings on both the Albanian and the Slavic-Montenegrin side (in September 2012). key words: Montenegro; history; multiculturalism; identity; nationalism; Muslim; Orthodox Montenegro (Crna Gora, Tsrna Gora, Tsernagora) is a small country in the Western Balkans region with some 625,000 inhabitants,1 which became an independent nation in 2006 and a can- didate-member of the EU in 2010.

  • Illyrian Religion and Nation As Zero Institution
    Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 3, No 1 (2016) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 Illyrian religion and nation as zero institution Josipa Lulić * Abstract The main theoretical and philosophical framework for this paper are Louis Althusser's writings on ideology, and ideological state apparatuses, as well as Rastko Močnik’s writings on ideology and on the nation as the zero institution. This theoretical framework is crucial for deconstructing some basic tenants in writing on the religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia, and the implicit theoretical constructs that govern the possibilities of thought on this particular subject. This paper demonstrates how the ideological construct of nation that ensures the reproduction of relations of production of modern societies is often implicitly or explicitly projected into the past, as trans-historical construct, thus soliciting anachronistic interpretations of the material remains of past societies. This paper uses the interpretation of religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia as a case study to stress the importance of the critique of ideology in the art history. The religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia has been researched almost exclusively through the search for the presumed elements of Illyrian religion in visual representations; the formulation of the research hypothesis was firmly rooted into the idea of nation as zero institution, which served as the default framework for various interpretations. In this paper I try to offer some alternative interpretations, intending not to give definite answers, but to open new spaces for research. Keywords: Roman sculpture, province of Dalmatia, nation as zero institution, ideology, Rastko Močnik, Louis Althusser.

  • Montenegro's Tribal Legacy
    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Montenegro's Tribal Legacy by Major Steven C. Calhoun, US Army Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared in Military Review July-August 2000 The mentality of our people is still very patriarchal. Here the knife, revenge and a tribal (plemenski) system exist as nowhere else.1 The whole country is interconnected and almost everyone knows everyone else. Montenegro is nothing but a large family—all of this augurs nothing good. —Mihajlo Dedejic2 When the military receives an order to deploy into a particular area, planners focus on the terrain so the military can use the ground to its advantage. Montenegro provides an abundance of terrain to study, and it is apparent from the rugged karst topography how this tiny republic received its moniker—the Black Mountain. The territory of Montenegro borders Croatia, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania and is about the size of Connecticut. Together with the much larger republic of Serbia, Montenegro makes up the current Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). But the jagged terrain of Montenegro is only part of the military equation. Montenegro has a complex, multilayered society in which tribe and clan can still influence attitudes and loyalties. Misunderstanding tribal dynamics can lead a mission to failure. Russian misunderstanding of tribal and clan influence led to unsuccessful interventions in Afghanistan and Chechnya.3 In Afghanistan, the rural population's tribal organization facilitated their initial resistance to the Soviets.

  • Traffic Connectivity in Croatia in the Past: the Dubrovnik Region Case
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 1, Issue 3 – Pages 195-204 Traffic Connectivity in Croatia in the Past: The Dubrovnik Region Case By Marija Benić Penava This paper analyses the development of traffic routes in the far south of Croatia during the 19th and 20th century. Poor traffic connectivity was the consequence of traffic policy which was subordinated to the interests of Vienna in the Austro- Hungarian Monarchy, and after World War I, to Belgrade. Since the Dubrovnik region was oriented towards the sea, and since traditionally it had strong entrepreneurship and sea traffic that enabled great economic prosperity of Dubrovnik in the past centuries. Ships flying the flag of Sveti Vlaho (Saint Blaise, the patron saint of the city) were present in the Mediterranean and the world’s oceans, yet the service industry which Dubrovnik provided was completed by tourism only in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The perception of Dubrovnik as a world tourist destination was established in the first half of the 20th century and that could only be maintained by quality traffic routes. Therefore it was extremely important for the prosperity of the far south of Croatia to have and retain the best connectivity by railway as well as sea, land and air traffic. Introduction The transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century was a period of great economic change in Europe. The discovery of the Watt’s steam engine (1764) enabled mechanical transport, which neither the working animals nor the natural power, on which transportation was dependent previously, could not contest. The steam engine passed the milestone in the field of transport connection.

    A PRELIMINARY GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF RELIEF CERAMICS FROM THE NADIN NECROPOLIS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Elizabeth Gaj Proctor August 2019 © 2019 Elizabeth Gaj Proctor ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This paper analyzes a collection of Hellenistic mold-made relief vessels discovered during the 2018 season of the Nadin-Gradina Archaeological Project through non-destructive portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Archaeometric analysis allows for a reconsideration of previous conclusions about the origins of these vessels and possible trade connections at the site of Nadin. The goal of this study is to determine potential source groups for these vessels through their geochemical composition. While the suitability of pXRF as an analytical tool for archaeological ceramics has been debated, the qualitative design of this research project and the physical characteristics of these vessels allow pXRF to be utilized successfully. Statistical analysis of pXRF results indicate the presence of multiple source groups represented in the samples. The attribution of most of these samples to a smaller number of potential source groups indicates a strong connection between the residents of Nadin and at least two production centers. This thesis is intended to suggest preliminary conclusions about potential sources and suggest areas of further study to better understand the trade connections that brought these vessels to Nadin and the role of Nadin in the Ravni Kotari landscape. ii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Elizabeth Gaj Proctor received her BA from the University of Maine in 2017, majoring in Anthropology and minoring in Art History and Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
