Sažetak
The paper analyzes the volume Roman-Venetian- modern Dalmatia: Travel Notes and Memories (1892) written by Giuseppe Modrich from Zadar and compares it to previous literature, establishing links with Fortis's writings by focusing on anthropological, historical, and cultural aspects. Modrich's descriptions of Dalmatia and its many provinces abound with details concerning the population's habitual behaviors in daily life, as well as its artistic and architectural heritage, which the author recognizes as evidence of various foreign powers that had dominated the region over the centuries. A chapter is dedicated to the Morlachs and their culture and, more generally, to the Dalmatian hinterland, not very popular with travelers and, therefore, little known to most people. The second part of the analysis focuses on the narrative structures and strategies employed by the author, shifting between the overuse of dialogism and the long and detailed descriptions that make the imagery almost tangible to the reader, be they landscapes, monuments, or habitual behaviors; strategies with which the author intends to promote his homeland.
