Sažetak
The central theme of this article is immigration from Boka to the islands of the Venetian Lagoon (the isles of Giudecca, Murano and Chioggia). It is based on the sources from the State Archive of Venice (testaments), the chronological scope of immigration from Boka to the island of the lagoon, the way in which the immigrants from Boka are noted in sources, their more precise origin from a homeland (with a particular emphasis in favour of the immigrants from Kotor), and their professions and economic potential. Particular attention is directed towards the analysis of the everyday lifestyle of the immigrants from Boka, their relations with their families and friends, and, particularly, forms of their connection to other Croats in Venice and on the islands of the lagoon. The final part of the article is directed towards the religious life of the immigrants of Boka, particularly towards the forms of their connection with local ecclesiastical institutions and members of the clergy. In sum, the analysis of all the aforementioned elements from the past of the immigration from Boka and the agency of the immigrants on the isles of Giudecca, Murano and Chioggia shows that they were fully integrated into the new surroundings, but also testify to numerous forms of communication with other Croatian immigrants. Because of that, based on the whole analysis, it may be concluded that migrations from Boka to the Venetian islands represent an integral part of Croatian migrational movements towards the west coast of the Adriatic in the period from the Late Middle Ages to the end of the early modern age.
