It is devoted to cultural and his- torical aspects of the Croatian littoral that, with their many-layered links with the overall Mediterranean and European world, gradually began to be discovered during the 18th and 19th centuries, when many travel writers and visual artists on their Grand Tours started regularly to visit the east- ern coast of the Adriatic. There are two fundamental reasons why Dalmatia became a major des- tination of the European Grand Tour in the 18th and the 19th century: it represented a fountainhead of Ancient forms, knowledge of which helped in the quest for the universal language of architecture; furthermore, it was almost uncharted territory inspiring the Enlightenment intellectuals to discover and get to know the world. Ancient architecture presented the dominant cultural infrastructure of that period in Europe. The outline of the European Grand Tour embraces places that preserved the traces of those idealised times. However, travel writers also collected information of another kind; on the topography and customs, language and religion, the physical and human geography, in other words, of the area about which they wished to learn and write. Within the programme, a workshop will be held on the topic entitled (Un) Mapping Diocletian’s Palace: Research methods in the understanding of the experience and meaning of place. The workshop will be devoted to a monument that has been one of the most powerful magnets for Grand Tourist in their stay on the Croatian Adriatic. The mentors in the research team (a psychologist, sociologist, designer, media artist, art historian and a few architects) will point the students in the direction of various interpre- tative methods of applied social sciences, of architecture and urban plan- ning and design, endeavouring jointly to develop a research methodology according to the scale of the very specific historical space, of a format for the qualitative presentation of space via different media. Bearing it in mind that the Adriatic has for centuries been a space connected in cultural historical and economic terms by hundreds of threads, in the context of this one-week programme, we want to open up one more topic – the artistic links between the two shores, which were particularly close in the medieval and Renaissance periods, and a number of related phenomena. Matteo Mazzalupi will give a lecture, along the lines of these observations, entitled Painting in Ancona in the 15th century with several parallels with Dalmatian painting, derived from his doctoral dissertation, and from the articles that he has published in the meantime. The lecture will be held within the context of the academic project of the Institute of Art History entitled Fine arts and communication of power in the early modern period (1450-1800): historical Croatian regions at the borders of Central Europe and the Mediterranean, under the aegis of the Croatian Science Foundation. Attempting one more time to weigh the arguments that the Zadar Forum, with all the stratification of historical monuments of two millennia that it reflects, is indeed a phenomenon of the world heritage, as part of the programme Discovering Dalmatia a scholarly colloquium entitled Zadar: space, time, architecture. Four new views will also be organised. Four lectures that will be devoted to diverse aspects of the development of the architecture and town planning of Zadar and its renovation will put forward supporting arguments for the proposition that the historical centre of the city possesses indeed all the characteristics of exceptional universal value. The concluding part of this week-long programme consists of an international conference entitled Discovering Dalmatia. Dalmatia in 18th and 19th century travelogues, pictures and photographs, in which these topics will be analysed and evaluated in terms of literary theory and the theory and history of art and architecture. The workshop and the conference stem from the research project Dalmatia – a destination of the European Grand Tour in the 18th and the 19th century of the Institute of Art History, under the aegis of the Croatian Science Foundation. This collaborative venture of the Institute of Art History, the Ethnographic Museum, located in the centre of Diocletian’s Palace, faculties of Split University and colleagues coming from all over Europe will, we believe, in interdisciplinary research and dialogue fulfil the overall aim of the events of the week: to identify, problematise and integrate the issues related to the phenomenon of recording the space, predominantly in Dalmatia. We also wish to evoke and in a new way renew the aims behind the classic Grand Tour, that is, address the current need for a direct perception of the Croatian cultural and artistic heritage in a more thoroughgoing and sophisticated manner.
