Why I Love DubrovnikBY Jelka TepšićOlga Stoos– the noble-hearted “Commander”The story about the friendshipbetween Dubrovnik andthe German city of BadHomburg is the story of one person– a unique friend of Dubrovnik, itsgreatest advocate both in war andpeace, and at the same time a modest,yet endlessly persistent, determinedand diligent person – Olga Stoos.This lady has worked incessantly tointensify the friendship between thetwo cities, from the Croatian War ofIndependence right up to the presentday, and the culmination of all this hardwork was the twinning and signing ofthe Partnership Charter in 2002. Theenormous energy, cheerfulness andenthusiasm that Olga Stoos radiateshave made this vigorous woman alegend, well-liked both in Germany andCroatia, especially in Dubrovnik. Sheis “mother” to the friendship betweenthe German city of Bad Homburg andDubrovnik. Their alliance began duringthe most difficult days of the CroatianWar of Independence, when – motivatedby the terrible suffering in Croatia– Mrs. Stoos opened up her heartand become the greatest advocate ofCroatian freedom. She was responsiblefor carrying out a large number ofhumanitarian projects and for aid sentto Dubrovnik. An honorary citizen ofDubrovnik since 2010, Olga Stoos isa renowned German politician and ahighly respected resident of the wealthycity of Bad Homburg, located in closeproximity to Frankfurt. Humanity,friendship and sincere loyalty are thevirtues of this outstanding person,who has proved her commitment toDubrovnik on countless occasions,showing through her actions why sheloves Dubrovnik.“The first humanitarian aid in the formof nylon sheetingheaded for Dubrovnikafter I had seen a TVprogramme on thesuffering of the Cityand the broken shopwindows in the Stradun. The KroatienhilfeSociety, which I co-founded with my friends,was very active in collecting help for all partsof Croatia – from Vukovar, Slavonski Brodand Zagreb to Dubrovnik. During the warour society, based in Bad Homburg, wassending highly valuable humanitarian aidto Croatia, 420 trucks in all, for severalconsecutive years, amounting to severalmillion Euros per year. The society also tookcare of 110 parentless children by findingGerman families who became their sponsorsand helped them on a monthly basis.”This is how Mrs. Stoos describes onlya part of the extensive humanitarianactivity she was responsible for duringthe most difficult days of the war andafter it. Many things have been done inDubrovnik thanks to her commitmentand dedication. The Maslina Children’sHome was renovated and reconstructed.Mrs. Stoos claims this project, worthover one million Kuna, to be herfavourite and most important mission.The longstanding cooperation betweenthe two cities has resulted in a largenumber of friendships formed betweencitizens of all age groups, from theyoungest members of the populationto seniors, including athletes (judo,handball, football and tennis players),musicians, people engaged in culture,fire-fighters and officials of both citieswho swap ideas on a regular basis. BadHomburg is a high technology city andhas many excellent ideas that can alsobe employed in our City in the future.Nurtured by the enthusiasm of OlgaStoos, the friendship and collaborationbetween the two cities has its advocateon Dubrovnik’s side too - her greatand sincere friend Niko Pavlović, Headof the City of Dubrovnik FinancialDepartment. According to Mrs. Stoos,he is the person without whom therealization of all these ideas would beimpossible. Mr. Pavlović cultivates therelationship between the two citiessincerely and with great devotion,and pays even greater attention towelcoming Mrs. Stoos, her associatesand friends at all times and with anopen heart. The way they deserve.“Olga Stoos really doesn’t like to talkabout herself. However, I can say that,over the years, I have got to knowher very well indeed and I considerher to be not only a true friend of theCity, but a personal friend as well.The collaboration has not always beensmooth and easy, but, believe me, it’sowing to her great persistence that wehave achieved the results we have today.It is a fact that out of all the twin citiesthe best relationship is the one betweenDubrovnik and Bad Homburg, andthis is mostly thanks to Mrs. Stoos.We nicknamed her “the commander”because the word describes in the bestway the extent of her commitmentand dedication to the realization of allthe ideas. I must point out the mostimportant thing: in all her projects OlgaStoos relies on young people, stronglybelieving it to be the only true path tobuilding friendship and collaborationbetween the two cities”, says NikoPavlović.8 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

Plavacmali10 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

ENO KUTAKNapisala Božica Đurđević- vladar hrvatskoga jugaPostoji izreka poznata na cijelomMediteranu - maslina je kaomajka, loza je kao žena. Reklobi se, maslina je ta koja bezuvjetno daje,lozi međutim treba puno ljubavi, pažnjei brige da bi uzvratila rodom. Postojiipak jedna vinorodna sorta, i to neobična, već autohtona hrvatska sorta odkoje su proizvedena i prva zaštićena vinas ovih prostora, za koju je zasigurno čuosvaki vinski znalac u bilo kojem dijelusvijeta, a koja je presedan u odnosu nastoljećima poznatu usporedbu maslinei loze. To je Plavac mali za kojeg kažuda voli patnju i da u teškim i škrtimuvjetima dalmatinskog južnog priobaljai otočja daje najbolje rezultate. Plavacmali je, kako bi rekao jedan od poznatihvinara poluotoka Pelješca, Frano Miloš,najbolji pokazatelj borbe za opstanak.On je pobjednik svog okruženja i jedanod vladara ovih prostora.U Hrvatskoj, a posebice u Dalmaciji, idanas se može naći velik broj autohtonihvinskih sorti. Taj bogati sortimentrazloge ima u dugoj povijesti uzgojavinove loze, pogodnim prirodnimuvjetima i tradicionalnoj okrenutostiovdašnjih ljudi vinogradarstvu ivinarstvu. Postoje arheološki nalazi kojipotvrđuju da je upravo na područjimauzgoja Plavca maloga kultura uzgojavinove loze i proizvodnje vina postojalajoš više stoljeća prije Krista. Povijesniizvori također govore da su vinske sortena ovu zemlju donijeli još stari trgovciSredozemlja, Feničani i Grci.Plavac mali je najpopularnija igospodarski najvažnija, uz to iautohtona crna sorta vinove lozeu Hrvatskoj. Gotovo pri svakomspominjanju najboljih hrvatskih vina,Plavac mali nezaobilazna je tema, apriča o toj sorti i vinu također je vrlointrigantna i zanimljiva. Tome svakakodoprinosi činjenica da je izravni predakZinfandela. Znanstvena istraživanjadovela su do spoznaja o hrvatskimkorijenima te kultne američke sorteo čijem se podrijetlu desetljećimanagađalo. Dakako, suštinska snaga ovesorte iz koje crpi svoju popularnost jenjezin iznimno kvalitetan potencijalzbog kojeg se od ove sorte moguproizvesti izvrsna crna vina. Kadase tome pridoda podneblje samihlokacija na kojima se uzgaja, Plavacmali postaje pravi adut nacionalnogvinarstva Hrvatske. Ova vinska sortatraži puno sunca i topline, pa su jojuzgojna područja ograničena nasrednju i južnu Dalmaciju. Ponajviše seuzgaja na poluotoku Pelješcu i otocimaHvaru, Braču, Korčuli i Visu. Dakle,isključivo južnim vinogorjima gdje senalaze i čuveni položaji poput Dingačana Pelješcu , a vino toga vinigorja jei prvo hrvatsko vino sa zaštićenimgeografskim položajem “ Dingačberba 1961.” I drugo hrvatsko vinosa zaštitom zemljopisnoga podrijetlatakođer je proizvedeno od Plavca malog– “Postup1967”.Plavac mali zahvalna je sorta po mnogočemu. Vegetacijsko razdoblje trajedugo, ali Plavac mali u proljeće ne žuris otvaranjem pupova, a dozrijeva vrlokasno što je ovisno o lokalitetu i godiniod kraja rujna do sredine listopada.I na vrlo siromašnijim i sušnim,kamenitim tlima dobre je bujnosti i rađaredovito. Pokazuje i izuzetnu otpornostprema bolestima i nepogodama.Vina od Plavca malog proizvode sepo klasičnoj tehnologiji proizvodnjecrnih vina. I onda, kada ga se vinificirana tradicionalni način, koji počinjegaženjem grožđa u drvenom posuđuveć u samim vinogradima, zahvaljujućinajprije visokom alkoholu i taninimakojima obiluje, od Plavca malog nastajuizvrsna vina.Karakteristike položaja vinogradas Plavcem malim i vrijednost samesorte omogućuju dobijanje različitihvina od ove sorte. Od običnih stolnihvina prosječne kakvoće do vrhunskihsvjetskih vina najviše klase . Isto takovrlo je pogodan i za dobijanje desertnihvina. Slavu i visok ugled uglavnomje stekao ponajprije na položajimavrhunskih klimatskih značajki, sakojih daje puna, visoko alkoholična iintenzivno obojena crna vina U timuvjetima grožđe ove sorte u redovnimberbama ima od 10 do 20 postosuhih bobica koje doprinose kakvoći iintezitetu mirisa. Takva su vina redovitovisoke kvalitete i dugog potencijalastarenja. Enolozi bi rekli da kod tih vinanajprije uočavamo rubinski crvenu boju,slijede mirisne senzacije u intenzivnojaromi uz primarne voćne arome gdjese naslućuju mirisi suhih šljiva, zrelihkupina i višanja , a pronalazi se i mirisprosušenih bobica , kao i neke začinskearome. Najjače senzacije ipak dolazeod okusa pri kojemu se već na prvomkontaktu osjetila s kapljicom naslućujesnaga onih vina u kojima koncentracijaalkohola nerijetko prelazi 14vol.postotaka.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 11

BY Božica Đurđević– Lord of the Croatian SouthThere is a proverb well-knownall over the Mediterranean: theolive tree is like a mother, andthe grapevine like a woman. People saythat the olive tree gives unconditionally,while the grapevine needs a lot of love,attention and care before it rewardsyou with fruit. However, a grapevariety - not an ordinary one, butan indigenous Croatian variety fromwhich the first protected wines fromthis area were made and with whichall wine connoisseurs from every partof the world are certainly familiar - isconsidered a precedent in regard to theaforementioned ancient comparisonbetween the olive tree and the grapevine.It is Plavac Mali, which is believed tothrive on suffering and which gives itsbest results on the barren soil of theSouth Dalmatian coast and islands.According to Frano Miloš, one of therenowned wine makers from the PelješacPeninsula, Plavac Mali is the bestindicator of the struggle for survival. Itis the champion of its own environmentand one of the lords of this region.Today, one can find a large number ofindigenous wine varieties in Croatia, andDalmatia in particular. The reasons forsuch a rich assortment lie in the longhistory of grapevine cultivation, thefavourable natural conditions and thetraditional commitment of local peopleto grape-growing and wine production.Numerous archaeological finds confirmthat the culture of growing grapes andwine making already existed severalcenturies B.C. in the particular areawhere Plavac Mali is now cultivated.Historical records also reveal that winevarieties were brought to this area byancient Mediterranean merchants,Phoenicians and Greeks.Plavac Mali is Croatia’s most popular andeconomically most important indigenousred grapevine. It is an essential topicon almost all occasions when the finestCroatian wines are mentioned, andits story is extremely intriguing andappealing. This is definitely supportedby the fact that Plavac Mali is a directpredecessor of Zinfandel. Scientificresearch has revealed the Croatian rootsof this American cult wine variety, theorigin of which had been a mystery fordecades. Of course, the core strengthof Plavac Mali - to which it owes itspopularity - is its outstanding quality,enabling the production of excellent redwines. Furthermore, the specific natureof the location in which it is cultivatedmakes Plavac Mali a major asset inCroatian wine-making. This wine varietyrequires plenty of sun and warmth,so its cultivation areas are limited toCentral and Southern Dalmatia. It ismost extensively grown on the PelješacPeninsula and the islands of Hvar, Brač,Korčula and Vis, that is, exclusivelyin the southern grape-growing areas,including the well-known location ofDingač on the Pelješac Peninsula, whichis the home of Croatia’s first wine withprotected geographical origin „Dingač,vintage 1961“. The second Croatianwine with protected geographical originis also produced from the Plavac Malivariety – „Postup 1967“.Plavac Mali is a rewarding wine varietyfor many reasons. Its growing seasonis long, the buds open in late springand the grapes grow ripe quite late -depending on the locality and weatherconditions - from late September to midOctober. The variety grows exuberantlyeven on extremely barren and dry soiland gives a bumper crop on a regularbasis. It is highly resistant to diseasesand poor weather conditions. Classicalred wine production technology is usedfor making wines from the Plavac Malivariety. The traditional-style productionbegins already in the vineyard wherepeople press grapes with their feet inwooden vats, and - thanks to the highpercentage of alcohol and an abundanceof tannins in Plavac Mali - the finalresult is first class wines.The characteristics of the Plavac Malivineyard locations and the variety’stop quality make the production ofdifferent wines possible, from ordinaryaverage-quality table wines to topquality ones. Plavac Mali also givesoutstanding dessert wines. The varietyowes its popularity and excellentreputation mainly to the specific climatein the locations where it is cultivated,producing a full-bodied, alcohol-richand intensely-coloured red wine. Thegrape varieties grown in these conditionscontain from 10 to 20 percent of drygrapes, which contribute to the qualityand intensity of the bouquet. Such winesare regularly of high quality and havea long maturation period. Accordingto wine experts, the first thing onenotices about such wines is their rubyredcolour. Their intensive bouquetprimarily includes traces of prunes, ripeblackberries, sour cherries, dried berriesand some spices. The most prominentsensation, however, is their characteristicflavour, which – from the very firstcontact between the taste buds andthe wine – reveals the strength of thesewines, the alcohol concentration of whichoften exceeds 14% vol.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 13

OBLJETNICEBY Maja Nodari3oothAnniversary ofDubrovnik CathedralOn Easter Wednesday, 6April 1667, shortly after9.00 am, a threatening roarwas heard in Dubrovnik, followed bya violent shaking of the ground whichturned the entire City into a ruin withina few seconds. The people killed in thiscataclysmic earthquake included: theRector, the entire Government, one halfof the Senate members, nine canons,35 Episcopal priests, 60 friars, 121nuns and around 3000 inhabitants. Themagnificent Romanesque Cathedralof the Assumption of the Virgin Maryfrom the first half of 12 th century, thepride and glory of Dubrovnik, wasalso demolished by the earthquake.The most significant individualbuilding- and restoration project afterthe earthquake was the reconstructionof the Cathedral, which - owing toits religious, cultural and politicalimportance - was the embodiment of theCity. That is why the citizens cared somuch about the Cathedral’s renovation,to which Abbot Stjepan Gradić madea major and invaluable contribution.Gradić - Dubrovnik’s envoy to the HolySee - a man of learning and honour,called with good reason “Father of theHomeland” for his merits, insisted onlya few months after the catastrophe that,along with the Rector’s Palace, priorityshould be given to the reconstructionof the Cathedral, as a symbol of therestored City. As a result, on 18 JuneSummer 20131667, the Government decided to beginclearing out the Cathedral ruins, and,on 2 March 1669, put three noblemenin charge of the restoration, with thestipulation that the new church mustnot be larger than the old one builton the same location. Abbot Gradićentrusted Andrea Buffalini from Urbinowith the design, and the scale drawingand relief model were completed in thesecond half of 1671. He immediatelysent them to Dubrovnik and zealouslycontinued to provide his expert andfinancial support. In 1672 PaoloAndreotti, an architect from Genoa,began work on the construction of athree-naved Baroque Cathedral with atransept, over which an elegant cupolawas to be built. Other architects livingtemporarily in Dubrovnik also workedon the Cathedral, while Ilija Katičić,a local builder and stone-mason,successfully completed the externalworks in 1712. After a year’s work onits interior the Cathedral was ready forworship, and on 29 January 1713, aftera solemn ceremony, it was opened forthe congregation and for the public.The Dubrovnik Cathedral was bare andempty for a long time. The first objectsto arrive were the main altar and organ,which the Authorities received on loanfrom the Franciscan Church in Slano,while the Senate decided to submit arequest for the altar of the Brotherhoodof St Lazarus’ from the St LazarusChurch at Ploče - the pentaptych of theAssumption of the Virgin Mary no less- by the famous Venetian painter fromthe High Renaissance period, TizianoVecelli. Just two centuries after itsconstruction, the Dubrovnik Cathedral’sexterior was completed with an elegantcupola and roof terrace balustrades,adorned with 12 statues by the greatCroatian sculptor Marin Radica fromKorčula, while the interior was fittedwith side-chapels with fine altars, infront of which people worshipped onthe occasions of Our Lady of Porat,the Sacred Heart, St Theresa the LittleFlower and the Holy Cross, and manyother major church holy days. Thus, theCathedral managed over the centuries tosuccessfully combine its sacral role withthe most exquisite church art.After the earthquake of 1979, anarchaeological dig was carried out,resulting in the discovery of fascinatingartefacts in layers under the Cathedral,while some fundamental restorationchanges were also undertaken. However,the Cathedral’s atmosphere and stylewere devastated and desacralizedby “purification”. Awaiting its 300 thbirthday, the Cathedral hopes that anew restoration will take place verysoon, to bring back its dignity of style,form, aesthetics and spirit – its liturgicalfunction – much to the delight of thefaithful.Welcome to Dubrovnik 17

Uz 400. obljetnicu rođenja „Oca Domovine“i pobornika europskog jedinstvaepan GradićNapisao Stjepan KrasićJedan anonimni humanist uXVII. stoljeća nadahnutonapisa: Parva domus Ragusa, sedsufficit orbi – Dubrovnik je malidom, ali dostaje svijetu! Danas ljudidiljem svijeta uglavnom znaju zaDubrovnik zahvaljujući njegovimjedinstvenim prirodnim ljepotama,visokim gradskim zidinama i lijepooblikovanim bedemima koji većizdaleka upućuju dobrodošlicu svimdobronamjernim putnicima, ali iprijetnju zlonamjernima što ih čekaako mu se nepozvani usude približiti.Istina je da je Dubrovnik po tomudanas prepoznatljiv kao jedno odnajpoželjnijih turističkih odredišta usvijetu. Međutim, ono što istinski činivelikim ovaj Grad nisu toliko njegovegrađevine koliko njegovi ljudi kojisu znali sve to stvoriti. „Čovjek jemjerilo svih stvari“, kako već u V. st.pr. Kr. napisa grčki filozof Protagora.U ovom malom Gradu bilo ih jedoista mnogo.Pretprošle godine (2011.)svečano smo proslavili 300.obljetnicu rođenja Ruđera JosipaBoškovića (1711.-1787.), velikanakojemu se cijeli svijet divi, a većove godine slavimo 400. obljetnicurođenja jednog drugog velikana,vjerojatno najvećega kojega jeikada iznjedrio Grad pod Srđem:Stjepana Gradića. Dok su, naime,drugi dubrovački velikani uglavnombili samo književnici, povjesničari,fizičari, matematičari, političari,diplomati itd., a samo rijetki od njihpolivalentni, Gradić je istovremenobio sve to skupa, čak i više od toga:filozof, teolog, pravnik, povjesničar,pjesnik, govornik, prevoditelj,jezikoslovac, matematičar, fizičar,astronom, meteorolog, diplomat,političar, optičar, stručnjak zaprecizno mjerenje vremena,hidrodinamička pitanja i dr. – sveto u jednoj osobi. Pravi „homouniversalis“ i to ne na lokalnoj, negona zavidnoj međunarodnoj razinina kojoj se našlo malo Hrvata upovijesti.Školovao se u Dubrovniku,Rimu, Fermu i Bologni stekavšizavidnu izobrazbu iz filozofije,teologije, obaju prava, matematikei poznavanja klasičnih i modernihjezika, a priroda ga je obdarilaizvanrednom inteligencijom, blagomnaravi, zadivljujućom sposobnošćuapstraktnog razmišljanja,metodičnošću, kritičnošću, smislomza mjeru, psihološkom pronicljivošću,diplomatskom vještinom, velikimknjiževnim talentom i oratorskomsposobnošću, što mu je svudaotvaralo vrata. Samim time sudbinamu je namijenila veliku budućnost.Nikakvo čudo da jezavidnu karijeru učinio u Rimu,jednom od najvećih povijesnih,kulturnih, vjerskih, političkih iznanstvenih središta svoga doba uEuropi. Bio je član više dikasterija(ministarstava) Sv. Stolice, glavniupravitelj prestižne Vatikanskebiblioteke kao treći stranac koji jeobavljao tu službu, stručnjak zameđunarodne odnose, pobornikeuropskog jedinstva unatoč svimrazlikama među pojedinim državama,i nadasve učenjak. Uspješno sebavio teologijom, filozofijom,pravom, poviješću, matematikom,fizikom, meteorologijom i drugimznanstvenim disciplinama.Eksperimentirao je i bavio sepraktičnom primjenom teorijskihspoznaja u optici, brodarstvu, nauticii hidromehanici održavajući veze sučenjacima iz gotovo cijele Europe.Ostavio je iza sebe oko stotinuknjiga, znanstvenih rasprava, članakai dr..No, ono, što na osobit načinobilježava Gradića kao čovjeka jenjegovo zadivljujuće domoljubljekoje je osobito došlo do izražajanakon velikog potresa koji je 1667.gotovo sa zemljom sravnio njegovrodni Grad. Od prve vijesti okatastrofi njegov život do zadnjegdaha bio je protkan nesebičnimradom na pružanju pomoćiunesrećenoj Domovini: u novcu,hrani, zbrinjavanju beskućnika,građevinskom materijalu, zanatlijamasvih vrsta i arhitektima kako bi seGrad što prije podigao iz ruševinai obranio od vanjskih neprijatelja.Insistirao je da se najprije podignuobiteljske kuće za stanovanje, a ondaKnežev dvor kao upravno središteGrada i Katedrala kao njegov vjerskii civilizacijski simbol, za što je izinozemstva pribavio vrsne arhitekte iznatna novčana sredstva. Zahvaljujućitim naporima Grad se malo po malopodizao iz ruševina poprimajućidanašnji izgled kojemu se svi dive.Već su ga njegovi suvremenicinazvali najčasnijim naslovom kojimgrađanin jednoga grada ili zemljemože biti nazvan: „ocem domovine“i „obnoviteljem našega grada islobode“. Sve su to više nego valjanirazlozi da se njegov lik i djelo nikadane zaborave.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 19

ANNIVERSARIESBy Stjepan KrasićMarking the 400th anniversary of the birth of the«Father of the Homeland» and advocate ofEuropean unityStjepan GradićAccording to theinspired words ofan anonymous 17th century humanist:Parva domus Ragusa, sed sufficit orbi -Dubrovnik is a small home, but sufficesfor the world! Nowadays, people all overthe world are familiar with Dubrovnikmainly due to its unique beauty, highcity-walls and elegant ramparts thatbid welcome from afar to all wellintentionedtravellers, but are also athreat to malevolent people who dareto approach the city uninvited. It is awell known fact that for this reasonDubrovnik is today one of the world’smost attractive tourist destinations.However, what really makes thecity magnificent are not so much itsbuildings, but its people who knew howto create it all. «Man is the measure ofall things», wrote the Greek philosopherProtagoras as early as the 5th centuryBC. In this small city, there really weremany such people.Two years ago (2011) wecelebrated the 300th anniversary ofthe birth of Ruđer Josip Bošković(1711-1787), a leading spirit admiredby the entire world. This year, we aremarking the 400th anniversary of thebirth of another great man, probablythe greatest born in this City at thefoot of Mount Srđ: Stjepan Gradić.Namely, while other Dubrovnik giantswere only writers, historians, physicists,mathematicians, politicians, diplomats,etc., and only few were polymaths,Gradić was all of these things, and evenmore: a philosopher, theologian, lawyer,historian, poet, orator, translator,linguist, diplomat, mathematician,physicist, astronomer, meteorologist,politician, opticist, expert for precisetime measurement and hydrodynamics,etc. - all in one person. He was a true„homo universalis“ not only at local, butalso at the highest international level,which only few Croats achieved duringthe course of history.Gradić studied in Dubrovnik,Rome, Fermo and Bologna and acquireda remarkable education in the fieldsof philosophy, theology, both kindsof law, mathematics and in classicaland modern languages. He was giftedwith extraordinary intelligence, agentle disposition and an astonishingability for abstract thinking. He wasalso methodical, possessed criticaljudgement, a sense of measure,psychological astuteness, diplomaticskill, a notable literary talent andoratorical ability, which opened all doorsto him everywhere. For all these reasons,destiny marked out a great future forhim.It is not surprising thatGradić had a flourishing career inRome, one of Europe’s greatest historic,cultural, religious, political andscientific centres at the time. He wasa member of a number of dicasteries(ministries) of the Holy See, head ofthe prestigious Vatican Library as onlythe third foreigner entrusted with thepost, international relations expert,advocate of European unity despiteall the differences between individualcountries, and, above all, a scholar.Gradić was successful in theology,philosophy, law, history, mathematic,physics, meteorology and otherscientific disciplines. He conductedexperiments and dealt with the practicalapplication of theoretic knowledge inoptics, navigation, nautical science andhydromechanics, had contacts withscientists from almost the whole ofEurope, and wrote around a hundredbooks, scientific dissertations, essays,etc.However, Gradić’s mostdistinctive human trait was his amazingpatriotism, which he expressedparticularly after the great earthquakeof 1667 that almost completelydestroyed his native city. From thefirst piece of news he received aboutthe catastrophe until his last breath,Gradić’s life was selflessly dedicatedto helping his wrecked Homeland inthe form of money, food, taking careof homeless people, building materialsand all kinds of craftsmen and architectsrequired for his city to rise from theruins as soon as possible and to defenditself from external enemies. He insistedon giving priority to the building offamily homes, and later the Rector’sPalace as the City’s administrativecentre and the Cathedral as its religiousand civilisational symbol, for which heprovided competent foreign architectsand substantial material funds. Owingto his efforts the City rose slowlyfrom the ruins, acquiring its widelyadmired present-day form. Gradić’scontemporaries already bestowed onhim the highest accolades a residentof a city or country could ever receive:«Father of the Homeland» and«Restorer of our City and Freedom».These are more than good reasons tosave forever his name and work fromoblivion.20 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

ANNIVERSARIESBy Maja Rilović Koprivec17O th Anniversary of theDubrovnik Brass BandOne cannot imagine anyreal Dubrovnik celebrationwithout the Dubrovnik BrassBand. In the sunlit Stradun, the cheerfulmarches performed by the DubrovnikBrass Band musicians - who paradein their bright red uniforms playingtheir gleaming instruments - triggeroff genuine resonant joy. Cheerfulnessspreads easily from the Dubrovnik BrassBand trumpets and drums, and theirvery first notes make us clap our handsspontaneously, like children. This hasbeen going on for 170 years!The Dubrovnik Brass Band was foundedin 1843, and has performed withoutinterruption ever since. This popularDubrovnik band consists of some fortyactive musicians, both professionals andamateurs, all of whom perform on avoluntary basis.Right from the foundation of theDubrovnik Brass Band, its amateurmembers consisted mainly of craftsmen,tin-smiths and joiners in particular. Atthat time too, entire families played inthe Band: brothers, parents and children– explains seventy-five year old DuškoAsić, a retired joiner and long timemember of the Dubrovnik Brass Band,who has also been its leader for the lastten years. Mr. Asić and his family area good example of the Brass Band’spopularity in Dubrovnik and of thetradition and love of music making thathave been carried on from generationto generation. It is thus not uncommonthat several members of the same familyperform together. In the 170- yearhistory of the Dubrovnik Brass Band,the Asić family has been loyal to theBand for more than a hundred years!The fourth generation of the Asićfamily is already part of this Dubrovnikorchestra!Mr. Asić himself has been a DubrovnikBrass Band member for the last 60years. He began to play as a fifteen yearold boy, and fell in love with the soundof the brass instruments while still achild, running in front of the musicians- one of whom was his father - duringtheir march past. A former trombonistand percussionist, who once performedwith his own father, Mr. Asić is nowthe Band leader in charge of order. Hesignals the musicians to start playing,and says that it is not nice to see theBand without a leader. His late father,Vinko, was a Brass Band member from1905 to 1960, and today Mr. Asić’s son,Vinko, occasionally plays in the Bandalongside his father. Out of all Mr. Asić’sgrandchildren, it is his fourteen-year oldgranddaughter and flutist, Ðina, whohas inherited his love of music.„It is delightful to see your owngranddaughter performing in the Band’smarch past along the Stradun – saysGrandad Duško proudly. After school,she runs to rehearsals not to be late,because she just loves to play in theBrass Band. And I still love it too, afterso many years. All of us do. Because,without love, who would have playedfor so many years on a voluntary basisin the middle of summer, at 36 degrees– as was the case during a performancein Bled – and at minus 10 degrees inVaraždin? The love of music has alwaysprevailed.“ Mr. Asić used to play inthe Linđo Folklore Ensemble, was amember of the Dubrovnik Ensemble, aco-founder of Klapa Lero and a memberof the Dubrovnik Mandolin Orchestra.This year, on the occasion of the 170thanniversary of the Dubrovnik BrassBand, the City of Dubrovnik Councilhonoured Mr. Duško Asić with a specialaward: the City of Dubrovnik Prize forhis unselfish contribution to culturalamateurism and for the participation ofhis entire family in the Dubrovnik BrassBand.The tradition, love and joy ofperforming together in the DubrovnikBrass Band are privileges that simplycannot be measured and written downin musical notes.24 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

TALENTSAnaKonjuhThe World’s Best Junior Tennis PlayerAt the age of 15, Ana Konjuh hasmade part of her dream cometrue. The dream she had whilestill in kindergarten when she startedher friendship with the tennis racket,attending the training sessions of hersister Andrea, her senior by almost sixyears. Ana has become the world’s bestjunior tennis player by winning a doublecrown at the Australian Open JuniorTournament.Regardless of the satisfaction whichthe victory in Melbourne brought her– followed by a series of wins at theprestigious Orange Bowl and EddieHerr tournaments - she is aware thatshe is not yet half way to reaching hergoal in tennis: to be ranked among theworld’s best senior tennis players.- Junior tennis is nothing in comparisonwith senior tennis. There isn’t a bigdifference in the training. Followingmy established routine, I still practicesix hours a day. However, although Iam more mature and experienced now,I still have a long way to go as far aspsychology is concerned in order tomatch the top players. I do not wish tolook into the distant future, I just hopeto be healthy, without serious injuries,to play the best I can and achieve thebest possible results – says Ana. Fromthe very beginning her talent and efforthave been praised by true tennis expertssuch as Goran Ivanišević, who claimedthat she was capable of playing a majorrole in the world of tennis. Althoughshe trains for six hours a day and admitsthat she doesn’t know what she woulddo if she wasn’t involved in tennis, Anaclaims that her priorities include herfamily and faith.- Tennis is one of main parts of mylife, but not the most important. I amdedicated to this sport and I chose apath which is not easy at times andrequires a lot of sacrifice. However, Ihave no regrets whatsoever, especiallybecause I can see the results. My choice,like all choices, has its advantages anddisadvantages. At the moment I amtruly happy and fulfilled, explains Ana.She has chosen to live in Zagreb sincethe age of ten - with the support of herfamily - because Dubrovnik lacked theconditions necessary for good qualitytraining. Separation from her nativeCity is the reason why Ana’s visits toDubrovnik are special for her and notmerely a holiday.- I miss the City. Every homecomingbrings back memories and I would liketo remain there, but I am aware thatin Dubrovnik I would not be able tohave good quality training sessions.Nevertheless, one day, I would love tolive right here, confesses Ana.She has recently visited her family andthe City on the occasion of the weddingof her sister Andrea, whose tennis careerwas brought to an end by injury.- I have three sisters, but Andrea is theclosest to me. She understands me thebest. We have been through similarexperiences. In addition to being sisters,we are connected by our love of tennis,the years lived in Zagreb, our victoriesand defeats. I am grateful for everythingshe has done for me, for every pieceof advice and help – Ana describesher relationship with her sister, who isimpossible to leave out while talkingabout the tennis part of her life.It feels strange to Ana when tennisplayingchildren ask her for herautograph. However, she gladly answerstheir questions and plays a game ortwo with them when she has the time.One of her meetings with very youngchildren took place recently at UvalaLapad (the Bay of Lapad), the placewhere her tennis story began.- They most often wish to know howlong my practice sessions last, howI manage to find time for all myobligations and study at the same time –says Ana, who is doing a correspondencecourse in Tourism.At the time when she was still hittingtennis balls against a wall while waitingfor her sister to finish her practicesessions at Uvala Lapad, Ana wasalready beaming with joy when she helda racket in her hand.Today this girl still has that verysame look, persistence and eagerness.Although her approach to this sportmakes Ana a true professional, tennisis still a game she delights in. It is verylikely that this joy is the key to herstamina and success, as well as a decisiveelement at crucial moments in hermatches.28 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

ANNIVERSARIES1OOYears of theExcelsior HotelNapisao / By Nikola ŠubićThe Odak Hotel at Ploče(owned by Robert Odak andDr. Marteccini), the predecessorof the famous Excelsior Hotel, began tooperate on the evening of 10 July 1913.The opening of the new hotel was apowerful incentive to the City’s tourismat the time.After the end of World War I, the OdakHotel continued its successful business.After Robert Odak’s death on 22 April1927, the hotel was managed by his wifeMina. In August 1929 the hotel wassold, and the Dubrovnik Riviera HotelConstruction Company bought it for 5million,400 hundred thousand Dinars.The Company extended and renovatedthe hotel and gave it a new name - theExcelsior Hotel. Already during itsfirst years the Excelsior made a majorcontribution to the tourist recognizabilityof Dubrovnik and its surroundings. In1938 the hotel was bought by BožoBanac, President of Yugoslav Lloyd (thecompany that owned ships and hotels,including Zagreb’s Esplanade Hotel).The Excelsior was renovated again,a third floor was added, a restaurantwith a terrace overlooking the sea wasopened, and the beach was connectedwith the main building by an elevatorand a staircase. After the renovation,the hotel had 120 rooms with runninghot and cold water, the majority ofrooms included bathtubs or showers,central heating and auxiliary rooms,Summer 2013Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylorand all rooms were equipped withmodern furniture. At the beginning ofWorld War II, in April 1941, the Hotelaccommodated the Germans and Italians(the Italians remained there) with theirheadquarters. After the Italians had left,the Germans returned to the hotel in1943. In 1944 the Allies bombarded theExcelsior, which was partially burneddown.After World War II, the hotel wasrenovated, redecorated and restoredseveral times. From the very beginning,Dubrovnik’s finest catering workers(chefs, waiters, pastry chefs, barmen,receptionists…) worked at the hotel,which was a true nursery for top classpersonnel. In addition to such superiorpersonnel, the Excelsior’s advantageover other Dubrovnik hotels was itsexcellent location. In the second half ofthe 1950s, a decision on the constructionof a new hotel extension was reached.However, the construction, accompaniedby numerous problems, took a long time.It was finally completed in 1965/1966,when the new hotel shone resplendently.The Excelsior Hotel acquired 240 newbeds (which made a total of 320 bedswith the most up-to-date equipmentthat granted the hotel the then highest„A“ category, a new restaurant for 350people, a kitchen, a pastry shop andmany other facilities required by theaforementioned category. The hotel’sspacious 25-metre long and 3-metrewide indoor swimming-pool with heatedsea water was a special attraction. Inthe 1970s and 1980s the Excelsior wasdefinitely Dubrovnik’s first hotel toearn world wide popularity. They were„golden years“ for both the hotel andDubrovnik tourism.During the Croatian War ofIndependence (1991 – 1995) theExcelsior was severely damaged byshelling as well as by a lengthy stayby displaced persons and refugees.Thoroughly restored afterwards, itwelcomed guests again in 1998.

UNESCO-va baštinaKlapskoAko bi netko želiood svih hrvatskihglazbenihfenomena izdvojiti najdalmatinskiji/najmediteranskiji, zacijelo bi se odlučioza klapsko pjevanje koje predstavljaidealan spoj tradicijskog i popularnog spozitivnom težnjom širenja izvan granicaDalmacije i zamišljenih mediteranskihgranica. Fenomen klapskog pjevanjakontinuirana je i relativno starapojava na koju su upozorili istraživačii muzikolozi krajem 19. stoljeća.Tradicija klapa i klapske pjesme kakvudanas poznajemo formira se u vrijemeprofiliranja hrvatskih kulturnih, patako i glazbenih identiteta malihmediteranskih gradića na obali iotocima, posebice u Dalmaciji. To jevrijeme nastanka prvih organiziranihcrkvenih i svjetovnih pjevačkih zborova,ali i gradskih limenih glazbi (ostavštinaNapoleonova vremena), te tamburaškihsastava i orkestara.Sam pojam klapa premaetimološkim istraživanjima ima korijeneu tršćanskom dijalektu, gdje je smatranžargonskom riječju koja označavadružbu, družinu, skupinu ili kliku odkojih bi riječ družina najbliže označavalariječ klapa. Nekako u isto to vrijeme(polovina 19. st.), u Dalmaciji djelujuformalne i neformalne pjevačke družinekoje preuzimaju termin klapa. Danasriječ klapa najčešće asocira upravona organizirane pjevačke skupinesa specifičnim a capella repertoaromdalmatinskih klapskih pjesama.Potrebno je istaknuti da je u početcimaovaj način glazbenog komuniciranja bioisključivo muška tradicija. Bile su tomanje skupine pjevača koje je uz prisnoprijateljstvo, zajedničke poslovne i ineinterese vezala i ljubav prema pjesmii zajedničkom muziciranju. Ribari itežaci pjevali su uz bok trgovcima iobrtnicima, učenicima i studentimanajviše u konobama u kojima se uzjednostavno jelo (slane srdele, slanutak,bob, pršut, sir) pilo crno i bijelo vino.Pjevali su za svoju dušu po uskimkaletama tražeći skrivene kutke u kojimaglas najbolje rebatije – odzvanja, nazadovoljstvo družine pjevača. Pjevali su iza druge, posebno voljene drage kojimabi skupina pjevača pjevala podoknice,serenade, sve dok se ukućani ne bi smililiotvoriti vrata i portune, pustiti pjevače ukuću te ih počastiti jelom i pićem. Istozadovoljstvo imale su prilike doživjetii brojne turistkinje kojima su svoj pjevpodarili dalmatinski „galebovi“, širećii na taj način dalmatinsku turističkuponudu.Glazbeno gledajući, radise o stilu tradicijskog homofonogpjevanja koji je evoluirao od tipičnotradicijskog oblika pjevanja (klapskapjesma) i postojanja (klapa) do stručnopostavljenog, organiziranog oblikapjevanja koje se u današnje vrijeme34 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

Zahvaljujući dobroj medijskojprezentaciji i popularizaciji klapskihpjesama, potaknutoj osnutkom Festivaladalmatinskih klapa u Omišu 1967.,klapsko je pjevanje poznato i izvanDalmacije, u prvom redu kao kulturnodobro južnog dijela Hrvatske, ali ivrijednost koja predstavlja Hrvatskukao neizostavni dio europske kulture.Klapa nikada nije bila izoliran fenomen:karakter, glazbeni sadržaji i stiloviklapskog pjevanja dinamički su semijenjali kroz različite periode, slobodnoprihvaćajući vanjske utjecaje i promjene.Navedene činjenice glavni su razlozi zadanašnju popularnost klapskog pjevanja,posebice među mlađom generacijom.Klapska aktivnost nadovezujese na svjetske trendove koji u posljednjevrijeme preferiraju višeglasno a capellapjevanje kojemu po svim svojimznačajkama klapsko pjevanje izričitopripada.

UNESCO HeritageIf someone wished tosingle out the Croatianmusic phenomenonwhich is most characteristic ofDalmatia and the Mediterranean, hewould definitely choose klapa singing(Dalmatian harmony-singing), whichis an ideal blend of traditional andpopular music that definitely tends toexpand beyond the borders of Dalmatiaand the imaginary borders of theMediterranean. Klapa singing is anongoing and relatively old phenomenon,first observed by researchers andmusicologists in the late 19th century.The tradition of klapa and klapa songas we know it today was formed at thetime the Croatian cultural and musicalidentities of small Mediterranean citieswere being defined on the coast andislands, particularly those in Dalmatia.This is the time when the first organisedchurch and secular choirs appeared,along with city brass bands (a legacyfrom the time of Napoleon), as well astamburitza groups and orchestras.DalmatianAccording to etymologicalresearch, the term klapa (a harmonysinginggroup) derives from the dialectof Trieste, where it was considered aslang word denoting a gang, group orband, of which the word group wouldbe the most precise. This is the time(the mid 19th century) when bothformal and informal singing groupsthat performed in Dalmatia adoptedthe term klapa. Today, the word klapais most often associated with organisedgroups of singers with a specific acappella repertoire comprising Dalmatianklapa songs. It is worth mentioningthat, initially, this way of performingwas exclusively a male tradition. Theywere small groups of singers whoshared, along with close friendship andmutual business and other interests, alove of songand making music together. Fishermenand peasants sang alongside merchants,craftsmen, pupils and students, mainlyin taverns where people consumedsimple dishes (salted anchovies, chickpeas,broad beans, smoked ham, cheese)and drank red and white wine. Theysang for their own pleasure in narrowalleys, searching for hidden cornerswhere the voice resounds the best,much to the delight of the singinggroup. They also sang for other people,especially for their sweethearts, whomthe group serenaded until the housedwellers took pity on them, openedtheir doors and hallways, let themin and offered them food and drink.Numerous female tourists also had the36 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

By Joško Ćaletaopportunity of enjoying the song of theDalmatian „seagulls“ (gigolos), thusadding their own contribution to the listof Dalmatian tourist attractions.From the musicologicalaspect, this is a traditional homophonicstyle of singing which evolved from atypically traditional form of singing (theklapa song) and existence (klapa) to aprofessionally set up, organised form ofsinging, which is nowadays – becauseof the way it is performed – consideredto belong more to popular music stylesthan to traditional ones. Klapa songsare recognizable by the way they areperformed, the gender and numberof performers, the internal musicalstructure and the motifs of their poeticcontents. They are performed by aIf, nowadays, you mentionklapas or klapa singing anywhere inCroatia or among Croats who liveabroad, the majority of them willrecognise the basic point. Some ofthem will try to explain this kind ofsinging, and connect it with theirvacation, the sun, sea, wine, fish, cheeseand smoked ham… This is where youhave to stop them, because the waysin which klapas, i.e. the entire klapamovement, function today is indeedneither easy to describe nor easy toexplain. The complete image consistsof many musical expressions, models,geographic regions and performingopportunities (events, gatherings andfestivals – such as Dubrovnik’s AklapelaFestival of klapas) which have in the lasttwenty years developed from a localmusical phenomenon into regional andhave changed intensively throughdifferent periods, freely adoptingexternal influences and alterations.The aforementioned facts are the mainreason for the present-day popularityof klapa singing, particularly among theyounger generation.Klapa activity follows world trends whichin recent times prefer a cappella partsinging,to which klapa singing definitelybelongs, due to its characteristics.Klapa Singinggroup of singers –klapa (male, female ormixed) - consisting of fiveto ten members who sing mainlyin a major key and in the four-parthomophonic style. They differ fromother similar Mediterranean a cappellatypes of singing due to the extremelyimportant role of the leading voice –the 1st tenor, closely followed by the2nd tenor’s voice in the parallel third.The deep Slavic profondo basses add thebasic chord notes, while the baritonesenhance the song by completing thechords with the remaining notes, thuscontributing to the fullness of the klapapart-singing.national phenomena,and are well onthe way to alsobecoming a global culturaland traditional product. Thanks togood media presentation and thepopularization of klapa songs, encouragedby the establishment of the DalmatianKlapa Festival in Omiš in 1967, klapasinging has also become popular outsideDalmatia, primarily as a culturaltreasure of the southern part of Croatia,but also as a value that representsCroatia as an integral part of Europeanculture. Klapa has never been an isolatedphenomenon: the character, musicalcontents and styles of klapa singingThis is confirmed by last year’sinclusion of klapa singing in UNESCO’sRepresentative List of the IntangibleCultural Heritage of Humanity. This isrecognition to generations of songstersfrom the Dalmatian islands, coastlineand hinterlands, who have patientlycreated and developed their singingtradition, and showed it to the world ina representative way.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 37

U skladu sa sličnimnastojanjima na europskom Mediteranu,odlukom Velikog i Općeg vijeća od 9.veljače 1432. utemeljeno je dubrovačkonahodište, Hospital milosrđa.Za Nahodište je preuređenaopćinska zgrada nasuprot samostanu Malebraće na Placi (danas zgrada u Zlatarićevojulici unutar zidina). Nakon potresa1667. godine Nahodište je preseljeno uzapadno predgrađe Pile gdje je smještenou nekoliko zgrada (najmanje tri). Gotovodva stoljeća Nahodište je djelovalou zgradi u kojoj je danas smještenaTuristička zajednica Grada Dubrovnikana Pilama. Nakon izgradnje bolnice1888. godine Nahodište je preseljeno naBoninovo, prostor današnjega campusadubrovačkoga sveučilišta.Donositelju djeteta je bilazajamčena anonimnost, a za prihvatdjeteta uređena je obrtaljka, drveni valjaks otvorom. Dubrovačka rota nije bilanadzirana, a prema odredbama zakonamorala je biti otvorena danonoćno.Obrtaljkom je bila opremljena i bolnicaDomus Christi (najkasnije od 19. stoljeća).Brojne štićenike, osobito iz udaljenijihmjesta, primjerice s Pelješca, neanonimnosu donosile žene, koje su za tu uslugu bileplaćene.Summer 2013U zgradi Hospitala milosrđaje radilo osoblje pod nadzoromnekoliko državnih službenikavlastelina.U Nahodištu su većinombile zaposlene žene: nadstojnica,dojilje i sluškinje. Na platnoj listiNahodišta bili su i brijač-ranarnik isvećenik.

Prihvat djetetau Nahodište mogao se zbiti još umajčinoj utrobi. Državno Nahodištedjelovalo je vjerojatno već u 17.stoljeću, a sigurno od polovice 18.stoljeća i kao sklonište za trudnice unevolji.

Vanjskedojilje bile su udate žene s vlastitomdjecom uz koju su dojile i “komunskodijete”. Dojilje su bile nadzirane idobivale su poticajni dodatak zauspješno dojenje. Nakon trogodišnjegdojenja, kasnije i duljeg, štićenici suvraćani u Nahodište, odakle su daljeudomljavani ili usvajani, većinom useoske obitelji. Odnos prema štićenicimau obitelji dojilja i udomitelja varirao jeizmeđu roditeljskog osjećaja i hladnoćeposlovnog odnosa.

FoundlingHospital42 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

HeritageBy Rina Kralj– BrassardThe Compassionate Faceof DubrovnikProtective institutionswere part of theurban landscape inthe well-organised City. Followingsimilar trends in the European part ofthe Mediterranean, a decision reachedby both Major and Minor Councilson 9 February 1432, resulted in theestablishment of the DubrovnikFoundling Home, the Hospital ofMercy.A municipal building oppositethe Friars Minor Monastery in thePlaca was turned into the FoundlingHospital (nowadays a building inZlatarićeva Street within the citywalls). After the earthquake of 1667,the Foundling Hospital moved tothe western suburb of Pile, where itoccupied several buildings (three, atleast). For almost two centuries, theFoundling Hospital operated in abuilding at Pile where the DubrovnikTourist Board is presently located. Afterthe construction of the hospital in 1888,the Foundling Hospital was moved toBoninovo, the site of the present-dayUniversity of Dubrovnik Campus.People who brought foundlings weregranted anonymity, and the “wheel” - arevolving wooden turntable with anopening for admitting babies to thehospital - was installed. The Dubrovnikrota was not monitored, and it had tobe open night and day according tolegal provisions. The Domus ChristiHospital also had a “wheel” (from the19th century onwards, at the latest).Numerous wards, particularly thosefrom remote places such as Pelješac,used to be brought non-anonymously bywomen who were paid for the service.The personnel employedat the Hospital of Mercy workedunder the supervision of a number ofaristocrat officials. The majority ofpersonnel at the Foundling Hospitalwere women: the governess, wet nursesand maidservants. Other staff on thepayroll included a barber-surgeon anda chaplain. The Senate, the Republic’smajor government body, was incharge of the finances. The FoundlingHospital’s increasing demands forclothes, footwear, medicines and variousother necessities were taken care of bylocal craftsmen and merchants, and cityfunds were sent to the villages for theservices of wet nurses who looked afterthe wards in their own homes.The Hospital of Mercy tookcare of different groups of wards. Themajority of them were undoubtedlyabandoned children, but also includedthose born in wedlock, who weretemporarily placed in the care ofcommunal wet nurses at the Republic’sexpense, most often for a period of sixmonths. The wards could be admittedto the Foundling Hospital while stillin their mother’s womb. The StateFoundling Hospital was probablyalready operating in the 17 th century,and certainly from the middle of the18 th century when it also served as ashelter for pregnant women in distress.The Hospital of Mercy operated asa foundling hospital, an orphanage,a maternity ward and a wet-nursingagency.Having been accepted at theFoundling Hospital and baptized, thewards were sent to their wet nurses,most often in the villages. The externalwet nurses were married women whobreast-fed their own children alongsidethe „communal child“. The wetnurses were supervised and receiveda stimulating bonus for successfulbreast-feeding. After a three-yearbreast feeding period, which was laterextended, the wards were sent back tothe Foundling Hospital, from wherethey were fostered or adopted, mainlyby rural families. The way the wardswere treated in the wet nurse- and fosterfamilies varied from parental affectionto the coldness of a commercially-basedrelationship. Examples of inadequatecare were rare indeed.In the course of the 18thcentury, the Foundling Hospitaladmitted on average 26 wards per year,and around fifty in the 19th century.On average, at least a quarter of thefoundlings were fostered. Grown-upfoundlings most often remained withinthe lowest social classes, however theiroffspring managed to make progress.Descendants of foundlings are alive eventoday, integrated into the communitythey originated from, bearing witnessto the business vitality of the spurjani(bastards). The foundlings’ biographiesreveal the compassionate face ofDubrovnik and its aristocrats in a specialway.The Dubrovnik FoundlingHome was dissolved in 1927, five yearsbefore the establishment’s „round“500th anniversary.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 43

Jednaod takvih povijesnih pojava, zasigurnosu i dubrovački dumanjski ubručići. Tonisu bile samo lijepe ženske tradicijskerukotvorine, već i dubrovački izvozniproizvod, njegov negdašnji „brand“,zaštitni znak područja. Kroničariprve polovice 20. stoljeća bilježe odubrovačkim povećim svilenim rupcima,dumanjskim ubručićima, „na glasu“.Ime im dolazi stoga što su ih tkaledumne, no svoje početke imaju upravou dubrovačkim ženskim samostanima.Sirovi svileni materijal dobivao se izdubrovačke okolice i „preko mora“.Dudova stabla, „murve“, dala je posaditiDubrovačka Republika upravo radigojenja svilene bube, a u Konavlima juje gojila svaka kuća, dok su konavoskežene kod kuće spravljale i bojile sviluza svoje prelijepe vezove. Izradom svilebavile su se pučanke, ali i dubrovačkevladike. I jedne i druge pri svojimsijelima nikada nisu dangubile, većuvijek nešto korisno radile.Prije velike trešnje, 1667., bilo je uDubrovniku više ženskih samostana,u koje su dolazile plemkinje za kojenije bilo nade da se udaju. One suu „konventima“ njegovale sve vrsteženskih radnji, u čemu su bile praveumjetnice.Dumanjski ubručići tkali su se „narašicu“, a po šarama su bili karirani,s pasom naokolo. Boje su bile crna itmasto crvena, a katkad i tmasto zelenai žuta. Žene su ih upotrebljavale za naglavu i ogrtanje, a muškarci najviše zatzv. ubručiće „tabakaše“. Dumanjskisu se ubručići uvelike izvozili izDubrovnika, te su bili vrlo traženi pocijeloj Dalmaciji.Kad su Francuzi, okupiravši Dubrovnikzaplijenili i prenamijenili ženskesamostane, prestala je proizvodnjaubručića, a pored rijetkih privatnihosoba, izrađivali su ih još neko vrijeme uSamostanu od Sigurate, kod Tri crkve iSamostanu sv. Marije od Milosti naDančama. Privatni proizvođači zadržalisu tu industriju sve do početka 20.stoljeća, ali smrću Kate Glumac naKonalu i Mare Bini u Gružu, bilježionodobni tisak, ta je industrija sasvimpropala. Podsjećam na proizvodnjudumanjskih ubručića u Samostanu odSigurate, gdje su se davno bile smjestileTrećoretkinje sv. Franje, ponekad zvanei „picukare“, čiji najstariji pisani spomendatira iz 1281. god. Te su se dumnenaročito bavile vezenjem i tkanjem očemu svjedoče tkalački stanovi iz 18.st., a posebno su bili poznati i cijenjenisvileni rupci, zvani dumanjski ubručići.Valja nam još spomenuti da su se ovedumne Od Sigurate bavile i pečenjemsklatkiša, osobito „kotonjate“, koju suDubrovčani kod njih naručivali za kućnesvečanosti.Ovom sličicom iz dubrovačke povijestisvakodnevlja zatvara se i priča odumanjskim ubručićima, životno iidentifikacijski važna za svaku sredinu,upisana u svojevrsni dubrovačkiimaginarni muzej spomenika.44 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

CULTURAL HERITAGENapisala / By Maja NodariThe Dubrovnik Nuns’ KerchiefsThe rich treasure-house ofDubrovnik’s „little history“,the history of every-day life,contains priceless artefacts unique tothis area, confirming the level andachievements of what is nowadayspopularly called the intangible culturalheritage. One such historic phenomenonis definitely the kerchiefs made bythe Dubrovnik nuns. These were notonly beautiful traditional women’shandicrafts, but also an export productof Dubrovnik, a one-time “brand” andtrademark of the area. Chroniclers ofthe first half of the 20 th century wroteabout Dubrovnik’s largish silk headscarves, the “famous” nuns’ kerchiefs.Their Croatian name dumanjski ubručićireveals that the kerchiefs were originallywoven by nuns in Dubrovnik’s convents.The raw silk fabric was obtained fromthe Dubrovnik surroundings and from“overseas”. The Dubrovnik Republichad mulberry trees (murve) plantedfor the express purpose of breedingsilkworms. In the Konavle area everyhouse used to breed them, while thewomen of Konavle produced and dyedsilk in their homes for their beautifulembroidery. Both non-aristocratic andaristocratic women were involved in theproduction of silk. Neither class everwasted time and always did useful workduring their gatherings.Before the great earthquake of 1667there were several nunneries inDubrovnik which admitted aristocraticgirls who had no hope of gettingmarried. In the convents they weretrained for all kinds of women’s work, inwhich they were true artists. The nuns’kerchiefs were woven using the na rašicu(warp and weft) method, in a checkpattern, with a surrounding trim. Thecolours included black and dark red, andsometimes also dark green and yellow.Women wore them over the head andshoulders, while men mostly used themas so-called „tobacco“ kerchiefs. Thenuns’ kerchiefs were exported fromDubrovnik on a large scale, and were ingreat demand all over Dalmatia.When the French – on occupyingDubrovnik - confiscated the conventsand put them to new use, theproduction of kerchiefs came to an end.In addition to a few private producers,kerchiefs were, for a time, still made atOd Sigurate Convent, at the Tri Crkve,and at the St Mary of Mercy Convent atDanče. Private manufacturers continuedthe trade until the early 20th century.However, according to local newspapers,the trade disappeared completely afterthe deaths of Kate Glumac at Kono andMare Bini in Gruž.Worth noting is the production of nuns’kerchiefs at Od Sigurate Convent, thehome of the St Francis Tertiaries –sometimes also called picukare – whowere first mentioned in a documentdating back to 1281. These nuns werepredominantly engaged in embroideryand weaving, as testified to by a numberof 18th century looms, and silk headscarves known as nuns’ kerchiefs wereparticularly popular and valued. It isworth mentioning that the nuns fromOd Sigurate Convent also used to makeconfectionery, especially kontonjata(quince cheese), which the people ofDubrovnik used to order for celebrationsat their homes.This sketch from the history of everydaylife in Dubrovnik also completesthe story of the nuns’ kerchiefs, whichis important to the life and identity ofevery milieu, and included in a kind ofimaginary Dubrovnik heritage museum.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 45

HNACIONALNI SIMBOL52 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

Napisala Zrinka KesićHrvatskih nacionalnih simbolaima jako puno,a međunajvažnijima su svakako grb,zastava i himna, ali i jedan cvijet. I dokje, primjerice, djetelina s tri lista irskizaštitni znak, u Hrvatskoj je to hrvatskaperunika (Iris croatica).Hrvatska perunika je endemska vrstau Hrvatskoj, a rasprostranjena je ubrdskim područjima kontinentalneHrvatske. Osim navedene vrste uhrvatske endeme spadaju još Irisadriatica, Iris illyrica, Iris pseudopallida iIris x rotschildii. Budući da predstavljajuiznimnu vrijednost za našu floru,navedene vrste su strogo zaštićene,a neke od njih se nalaze na Crvenompopisu ugroženih biljaka Hrvatske.Latinski naziv roda (Iris) potječe odimena starogrčke božice duge Iride,a hrvatski naziv dolazi od imenastarohrvatskog boga gromovnikaPeruna, odnosno njegove žene boginjePerunike. Vjerovalo se da bi na mjestugdje munja boga gromovnika udari u tloili ga duga dotakne niknula perunika, ito svaki put u drugoj boji.Perunike su zeljaste trajnice koje, ovisnoo vrsti, cvatu od ranog proljeća dosredine ljeta velikim cvjetovima u širokojpaleti boja, ali ipak najzastupljeniji suplavi. Budući da cvijeće plave boje uprirodi nije često, možda je upravo torazlog zašto je tako otmjeno, profinjenoi ekstravagantno.Perunike (ili bogiše - kako ih čestonazivaju u Dubrovniku) uspijevaju nadobro ocjeditim tlima (neutralne doblago alkalne reakcije) i osunčanimpoložajima, premda podnose i zasjenjenepoložaje. Ove izuzetno otporne trajnices prekrasnim cvjetovima blagog mirisavrlo su jednostavne za uzgoj. Pogodnesu za sadnju kao rubne biljke, cvjetniceunutar kamenjara, lončanice, a omiljenesu i kao rezano cvijeće koje u vazizadržava svježinu danima. Vrlo uspješnose razmnožavaju dijeljenjem krajem ljetaili u proljeće, međutim moguće ih je ikupiti u rasadnicima ukrasnog bilja povrlo pristupačnim cijenama.I za kraj - nagrada koju Turističkazajednica Dubrovačko - neretvanskežupanije dodjeljuje za uređenostturističkih mjesta nazvana je baš poovom cvijetu - „Perunika- Bogiša”.rvatska perunikaSummer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 53

NATIONAL SYMBOLBy Zrinka KesićCroatian IrisCroatia has very many nationalsymbols, the most importantones definitely including thenational coat of arms, flag and anthem,but also a flower. While, for instance,Ireland’s trademark is the trefoil clover,its counterpart in Croatia is the Croatianiris (Iris croatica).The Croatian iris is an endemic plant,growing in the mountainous areas ofContinental Croatia. Other Croatianendemic plants include Iris adriatica,Iris illyrica, Iris pseudopallida and Iris xrotschildii. In view of the fact that theyare extremely important to the Croatianflora, the aforementioned plants arestrictly protected, some even beingincluded in Croatia’s Endangered PlantsRed List.The Latin name for the species (Iris)comes from the Old Greek rainbowgoddess Irida, while the Croatian namecomes from the Old Croatian thundergod Perun, i.e. his wife, the goddessPerunika. People believed that a perunikasprung up wherever the lightning of thethunder god struck or where a rainbowtouched the ground, each time in adifferent colour.Perunikas are perennial herbaceousplants which - depending on thespecies - flower from early spring tomid summer, developing big flowers ina wide spectrum of colours. The mostwidespread, however, are the blue ones.Bearing in mind that blue-colouredflowers are not often found in nature,this is perhaps the reason why they areso elegant, delicate and extravagant.Perunikas (or bogiša – as the plant isoften called in Dubrovnik) grow inwell-drained soil (neutral to mildlyalkaline) in sunny places, but they alsogrow well in the shade. These highlyresilient perennial plants with beautiful,delicately fragrant flowers are very easyto cultivate. They are well suited forgrowing as border plants, as floweringplants in rockeries and as pot plants.They also make well-loved cut flowersthat remain fresh in vases for manydays. They multiply very successfully bydivision late in summer or in the spring,but they can also be bought in plantnurseries at a very reasonable price.At the end of this article, it is worthmentioning that the Dubrovnik-NeretvaCounty Tourist Board’s prize for thebest-kept tourist resorts was namedafter this particular flower – „Perunika– Bogiša“.54 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

Alfred Hitchcock:“Ljepota Dubrovnika bila bi na filmu nestvarna.”Prva novinska izvješća osnimanju igranih ili umjetničkih filmovau Dubrovniku i njegovoj okolici donoselokalne tiskovine tijekom 30-tih godinaXX. stoljeća. Filmska poduzeća dolazeiz srednjoeuropskih metropola kao štosu Prag i Berlin. Iz kratkih novinskihtekstova može se saznati da prevladavajufilmovi ljubavnog i pustolovnogsadržaja. Strani redatelji za određenescene koristili su usluge domaćihglumaca iz kazališta i naturščika.Nakon II. svjetskog rataDubrovnik doživljava velik interesstranih filmskih kompanija početkom50-ih godina XX. st., a najplodonosnijerazdoblje filmske aktivnosti uDubrovniku i okolici bilježi se tijekom60-ih godina prošlog stoljeća. Mnogefilmske kompanije iz europskihgradova : Munchena, Praga, Pariza,Berlina, Londona, Rima, Petrograda,ali i Amerike (Los Angelesa), snimajufilmove različitog žanra. Znatnutehničku pomoć pružaju im filmske kućeiz bivše države (Jugoslavije), dok domaćiglumci i glumice dobijaju zapaženeuloge u zajedničkim koprodukcijama.Mnogi dijelovi povijesnogGrada koriste se za snimanje scenau eksterijeru, dok se unutrašnjostdubrovačkih ljetnikovaca i drugihspomenika kulture upotrebljava za sceneinterijera. Zanimljivo je spomenuti da jeprvi film u boji snimljen u Dubrovnikutijekom srpnja/kolovoza 1953. godine.Radi se o glazbenoj komediji „Svadbau Dalmaciji“ u koprodukciji „Triglavfilma“ iz Ljubljane i „Hanza filma“ izHamburga. Mnoga poznata filmskaimena glumaca, glumica i redateljaposjetila su Dubrovnik u razdobljuod 50-ih do kraja 80-ih godina XX.st., kada je u navedenom razdobljusnimljeno 40-ak filmova. Mnogefilmske zvijezde, koje su snimale uDubrovniku trajno su ostale očaraneljepotom kamenoga Grada, a evoimena samo nekih: Maria Schell, JayneMansfield, Dino de Laurentiis , JohnHouston, Alfred Hitchcock, HughGriffith, Peter Ustinov, Carroll Baker,Burt Lancaster, Yul Brynner, SophiaLoren, Carlo Ponti, Margaret Lee,Julie Christie, Peter O’Toole, JamesRogers, Rene Clair, Judi Dench, DanielDay-Lewis, Orson Welles, CatherineDeneuve, Elizabeth Taylor, RichardBurton... Ovom eminentnom popisutreba nadodati glumce, glumice iredatelje koji su posjetili Dubrovniku drugoj polovici 90-ih XX. st. i uprvom desetljeću XXI. stoljeća zbogsnimanja filma u Dubrovniku, ili kaogosti, a to su: Morgan Freeman, MickeyRourke, Francis Ford Copola, DarrenAronofsky... i mnogi drugi.Prirodne kulise Dubrovnika,odnosno njegovu monumentalnufortifikaciju, ali i druge lokalitete napodručju Grada, posljednjih godinakoriste redatelji za snimanje scena zaTV seriju Igra prijestolja u produkcijiameričke TV kompanije HBO.Svojom magičnomprivlačnošću očarao je mnoge osobe spodručja filmske umjetnosti. Svakako jenajdojmljivija izjava britanskog redateljaAlfreda Hitchcocka koji je prilikomposjeta Dubrovniku 1964. godine rekao:„Ljepota Dubrovnika bila bi na filmunestvarna!“56 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

POZORNICA ZA HOLLYWOODA STAGE FOR HOLLYWOODNapisao / By Damir RačićAlfred Hitchcock:Dubrovnik’s beauty would look unreal on filmThe first newspaper reportson making feature- or art films inDubrovnik and its surroundings werewritten by local newspapers in the1930s. Film companies that cameto Dubrovnik included those fromEuropean metropolises such as Pragueand Berlin. Brief newspaper articlesreveal that love- and swashbucklingadventure films prevailed at the time.Foreign film directors engaged localtheatre actors and non-professionals forsome of their scenes.After World War II,Dubrovnik attracted great interestfrom foreign film companies in theearly 1950s, while the most productivefilm-making time in Dubrovnik and itssurroundings was in the 1960s. A largenumber of European film companiesfrom Munich, Prague, Paris, Berlin,London, Rome and St Petersburg,but also from the USA (Los Angeles),made films of different genres. Theywere given substantial technicalsupport by film companies from theformer Yugoslavia, and local actors andSummer 2013actresses were engaged for prominentroles in co-productions.Many parts of the Old Citywere used for filming exterior scenes,while Dubrovnik summer residences andother historic buildings were used forinterior scenes. It is worth mentioningthat the shooting of the first colourfilm in Dubrovnik took place in July/August 1953. It was a musical comedyentitled A Wedding in Dalmatia coproducedby Triglav Film from Ljubljanaand Hanza Film from Hamburg.Numerous famous film actors, actressesand directors visited Dubrovnik fromthe 1950s to the late 1980s, whensome 40 films were made. Many filmstars who made films in Dubrovnikremained permanently enchanted by thebeauty of the stone City, some of whominclude Maria Schell, Jayne Mansfield,Dino de Laurentiis, John Houston,Alfred Hitchcock, Hugh Griffith, PeterUstinov, Carroll Baker, Burt Lancaster,Yul Brynner, Sophia Loren, CarloPonti, Margaret Lee, Julie Christie,Peter O’Toole, James Rogers, ReneClair, Judi Dench, Daniel Day-Lewis,Orson Welles, Catherine Deneuve,Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton... Thisprestigious list should be completed byadding the actors, actresses and directorswho visited Dubrovnik in the secondhalf of the 1990s and in the first decadeof the 21st century either because ofshooting, or as guests, such as MorganFreeman, Mickey Rourke, Francis FordCoppola, Darren Aronofsky...and manyothers.Dubrovnik’s natural settings,i.e. its monumental fortificationsand other Old City locations, have inrecent years been used for filming theAmerican HBO television series Game ofThrones.The magic attraction ofDubrovnik has fascinated many peoplefrom the field of film art. The mostimpressive statement is definitely thatgiven by the British film director AlfredHitchcock during his Dubrovnik visit in1964: “Dubrovnik’s beauty would lookunreal on film!”Welcome to Dubrovnik 57

STARI ZANATI58 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

Napisala Sandra LackovićMljetska vršaSjednete li u bilo koji mljetskiugostiteljski objekt u nekomnjegovom kutku zasigurnoćete ugledati vršu. Taj tradicionalniribolovni alat, kojim su se Mljećanislužili oddavnina, i danas se aktivnokoristi, no postao je i turističkaatrakcija. Male vrše nerijetko udanašnje doba dobijaju i sasvimdrugu primjenu - kao stiliziranilusteri u konobama ili suveniri kojiće podsjećati na vrelinu i ljepotuzelenog Odisejeva otoka, Mljeta .Vrša, koja je ulovom ribe hranilai othranila gotovo svaku mljetskuobitelj, u potpunosti je izrađena odprirodnih materijala, ispletena je,naime, od pruća mrče ili somine.Nakon što se pruće ubere, pokiša seu vodu kako bi dobilo savitljivost,odvaja se po duljini, širini i debljini.Za jednu vršu potrebno je i do 400prutova.Iako već dugi niz godina živi uDubrovniku, Vicko Lazo i dan-danasplete vrše, što je naučio od dunda naMljetu, gdje je kao dječak provodiosvoje djetinjstvo. Danas ispletenevrše uglavnom daruje prijateljima,zaljubljenicima u starinu, tradiciju,poštovateljima zanata koji je othraniogeneracije i generacije mljetskedjece i njegove obitelji. No, i ribolovvršama ima svoje zakonitosti.- U male vrše hvataju se crneji,pjerke, kanjci, velike tabinje i jastozi.Počinje se ribat sredinom travnja kadpočne lijepo vrijeme pa do VelikeGospe. Tada se bacaju s dvora Mljeta,a kad počne grubo vrijeme bacaju seu kanal. Vrša može trajati i do desetgodina, a s njima je jednostavnoribat. Mala riba koja uđe u vršu,mamac je za dobru, veću ribu, zatose pletu guste ili rijetke vrše. Nekadse u vršu uhvati i 10-tak jastoga –pripovijeda dundo Vicko.Prisjećajući se djetinjstva, kažekako se često znalo dogoditi daje na stolu, u to vrijeme, poslijeDrugoga svjetskog rata, bilo obiljejastoga, a da su bili željni i gladnikruha. Vrhunska delicija, mnogimanedostižna zbog vrtoglave cijene kojudoseže u restoranima, njemu je kaodječaku, u lokalnom žargonu rečeno,„izlazila na uši“ i rado bi je biomijenjao za običnu krišku – kruha.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 59

FOLD TRADESThe MljetIf you pay a visit to any cateringestablishment on the Island ofMljet, you will definitely see a fishtrap. This traditional fishing implement,which the inhabitants of Mljet haveused since time immemorial and whichis still in use today, has become a touristattraction. Today, small fish traps oftenserve a completely different purpose – asstylized hanging lamps in taverns or assouvenirs recalling the heat and beautyof Ulysses’ green Island of Mljet.The fish trap, which has fed and raisedalmost every family from Mljet, ismade entirely of natural materials,namely, myrtle and juniper twigs. Afterthe twigs are picked, they are soakedin water to make them pliable, andsorted according to length, width andthickness. It takes up to 400 twigs toweave a fish trap.Although Vicko Lazo has lived inDubrovnik for many years, he stillconstructs fish traps. He learned thetrade from his uncle on the Island ofMljet, where Vicko spent his childhood.Today he usually gives away the fishtraps he has made to friends, lovers ofantiquity and tradition, and to thosewho respect the trade that has raisedmany generations of Mljet’s childrenand families. However, fish trapping hasits rules.60 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

By Sandra Lackovićish Trap- Small fish traps are usedfor catching chromis,painted comber, comber,huge forkbeard and lobster.The fishing season starts in midApril, when the good weather begins, andlasts till the Feast of the Assumption. Thenfish traps are lowered to the south of Mljet,and, when the weather is bad, they arelowered into the Mljet Channel. Fish trapscan last for up to ten years, and fishing withthem is simple. When a small fish swimsinside the fish trap, it becomes bait forbigger and better fish, which is the reasonwhy a thick or wide weave is used for theirconstruction. It sometimes happens that asmany as ten lobsters are caught in a fish trap– says Uncle Vicko.Recalling his childhood, Vicko says that, atthat time, following World War II, it oftenhappened that there was an abundance oflobsters on the dining table, yet the familywere short of, and longing for, bread. As alittle boy he was «fed up» with this greatculinary delicacy - which many peoplecannot afford because it costs a fortune atrestaurants – and would have gladly traded itfor a plain slice of bread.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 61

Pisma engelskog putopisca iz 18. stoljećaŽivot dubrovačkogknezaDubrovački knez prema svjedočanstvuEngleza Thomasa Watkinsa iz 1789.Od 1358. dubrovačko jeplemstvo među sobombiralo kneza sa zadaćomda predstavlja i utjelovljuje Republiku.Trajanje njegova mandata od samomjesec dana, kreirano zato da bi sespriječilo koncentriranje moći u rukamapojedinca - koje je potaknulo pjesnika daga nazove “noćurkom vlasti” - zapelo jeza oko i svim stranim putopiscima kojisu ostavili zapise o Gradu. Među njimaje bio i 28-godišnjak Thomas Watkins,koji je posjetio Dubrovnik na povratkus puta po istočnom Sredozemlju.Britak promatrač, a očaran dobrimdruštvom koje je našao, u par pisamaocu, Pennoyreu Watkinsu, opisao jedubrovačke prirodne ljepote, državnatijela i običaje, s posebno živopisnimzapisom o Festi sv. Vlaha kojoj jeprisustvovao. Pouzdani sadržaj i pitakstil sigurno su bili uzrok popularnosti62 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.

Napisala Nella LonzaWatkinsovih sabranih pisama, koja subila u kratko vrijeme više puta tiskana iprevedena na strane jezike.O knezu je Watkins zapisao:“Na čelu Republike je vladar ili knez,kojeg bira Senat i čija služba traje samomjesec dana. Nosi obilježja kraljevskevlasti, boravi u službenoj palači, imaisključivo pravo predlaganja tema zaraspravu i – kako bi očuvao nadmoćandignitet karaktera – kretanje mu jeograničeno na Palaču, osim kada setraži njegova nazočnost u službenimzgodama, premda se pod tamom noćiiskrada u društvo nekolicine prijatelja, ukojemu sam ga često susreo.”Iz: Travels through Swisserland, Italy, Sicily,the Greek islands, to Constantinople throughpart of Greece, Ragusa, and the Dalmatianisles in a series of letters to Pennoyre Watkins,Esq. from Thomas Watkins, A.M. In theyears 1787, 1788, 1789, sv. II. London:Printed for T. Cadell, in the Strand.M.DCC.XCII, pp. 337-338.Na temelju drugih izvoraznamo da je Watkins vjerno prenio štoje čuo od svojih dubrovačkih prijatelja,osim par detalja manje važnosti.Znakovi kraljevske časti ustvari suse izlagali samo ako bi knez umro nadužnosti, no crveno ceremonijalnoruho i raskošna pratnja zasigurno supridonosili veličanstvenoj pojavi ujavnosti. Jamačno je najzanimljiviji dioWatkinsovog zapisa svjedočanstvo okneževom traženju društva u potaji noći.Propisi su od njega tražili da boravi uDvoru da bi bio na trajnom raspolaganjuza svaku državnu potrebu, no važandokument iz 1552. otkriva da je baremjednako važna bila misao da bi njegovočesto i “previše familijarno” pojavljivanjeu javnosti potkopavalo autoritet i sjajnjegove službe. Mnogi izvori ipakpotvrđuju da su noćni izlasci iz Dvorabili nezakonita, ali tolerirana praksa,koju je uočio i engleski putopisac.Summer 2013Welcome to Dubrovnik 63

Letters from an 18 th century English travel writerBy Nella LonzaThe life of the Rector ofDubrovnikThe Rector of Dubrovnik, according to the writings of Englishman Thomas Watkins in 1789From the year 1358, the Rectorof Dubrovnik was electedfrom amongst the nobility torepresent and embody the Republic.His term of office – which lasted foronly one month in order to preventthe concentration of power in thehands of a single individual, and whichinspired a poet to call him „an eveningprimrose in the garden of power“ -attracted the attention of all foreigntravel writers who left records of theCity. They included Thomas Watkinswho visited Dubrovnik at the age of28, returning from his travels to theEast Mediterranean. A sharp observerof society and delighted with the goodcompany he found in the City, Watkinssent a couple of letters to his father,Pennoyre Watkins Esq., describingthe natural beauty, the governmentinstitutions, customs, and gave aparticularly vivid account of the Festivalof St Blaise (3 February) he witnessed.His reliable account and agreeablestyle were certainly the reason for thepopularity of his collected letters, whichwere reprinted several times and alsotranslated into foreign languages withina short period.This is a quote from Watkins’ writingson the Rector:“At the head of the Republic is thePrince, or Rector, elected by the Senate,whose term of office lasts for only onemonth. He is honoured with the royalinsignia, resides in the public palace,has the exclusive privilege of proposingall matters to be discussed, and thebetter to support a superior dignityof character, is confined to his palace,except when on public days his presenceis required; though on dark nights hesteals into the society of a few friends,where I have often met him.”From: Travels through Swisserland, Italy,Sicily, the Greek islands, to Constantinoplethrough part of Greece, Ragusa, and theDalmatian Isles in a series of letters toPennoyre Watkins, Esq. from ThomasWatkins, A.M. In the years 1787, 1788,1789, vol. II. London: Printed for T.Cadell, in the Strand. M.DCC.XCII, pp.337-338.From other documentary and literarysources we know that Watkins faithfullyreported what he heard from hisRagusan friends except for a couple ofdetails of minor importance. The royalinsignia was, in fact, displayed only ifthe Rector died during his term of office,but the ceremonial red robe and thelavish entourage certainly contributed tothe majesty of the Rector’s appearancein public. Certainly the most interestingpart of Watkins’ account is histestimony about the Rector’s secretsearch for company in the evening.Actually, the law required him to stayin the Palace on permanent call for anyreason of state that may occur. However,a very interesting document from 1552discloses that equally important was theidea that his frequent and “too familiar”appearances in public would underminethe authority and magnificence of therectorship. Though, many sources doconfirm that nocturnal escape from thePalace was an illegal, but tolerated,practice of many Rectors, one ofwhom was noticed by the travellingEnglishman.64 Dobrodošli u Dubrovnik Ljeto 2013.
