Sažetak
In early August 2023, a significant cultural event unfolded in Zadar’s monastery of St Francis – a ceremonial handover of a Gothic processional cross that had been audaciously stolen from the monastery in 1974. The ceremony was attended by high‑ranking officials of the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Italy, where the cross was recovered in the town of La Spezia. Professor Donal Cooper played a pivotal role in researching the cross’s origin, crediting its identification as a product of Zadar’s medieval artistic milieu to the meticulous work of professor Marijana Kovačević.
