Lovorka ČORALIĆ
Sažetak
Abbey, church and fraternity (Scuola grande) of Santa Maria della Misericordia during the centuries were one of the most important religious institutions in Venice. In this contribution author has tried to reveal – on the basis of the archival sources from the Archivio
di Stato di Venezia (mostly from the archival fond Notarile testamenti) – various relations and connections between the Croatian immigrants and the afore mentioned institutions della Misericordia. Author also tried to embrace quite a large period from the late fourteenth century up to the 40s of the eighteenth century. Still, the emphasis is put on the sixteenth century, which was a period when the immigration from the Croatia to Venice
was the most intense. In the first part of the article author delivers common information about the Croatian immigrants who had relations with the church and fraternity of S. Maria della Misericordia (origin of the immigrants, their professions and economic possibilities,
place of dwelling in the Venetian districts and parishes, etc.). The second part of the article analyzes the data from the testamentary writings of Croatian immigrants which reveals their direct relationship with previously mentioned religious institutions (the place
of burial, serving Masses, participation of the fraternity of S. Maria della Misericordia at the funeral of the deceased, their involvement in the fraternity, etc.).
