Lovorka ČORALIĆ
Sažetak
In this article, on the basis of the extant archival sources kept in the State Archives in Venice and in Archive of St. George and Triphon fraternity (testaments), author tries to describe various relationships of Croatian emigrants in Venice with the members of St. Rocco fraternity, which was one of the most prominent and most respectable fraternities in the history of Venice. Author tries to analyze provenience, professional and social structure of the Croats related to the fraternity of St. Rocco, which was quite important regarding these relations between Croatian emigration and the aforementioned fraternity. Since the primary sources for this investigation were testaments, which contain rather specifi c
sort of information, this investigation was focused chiefl y at the information regarding the burial place – taking into account all the testators who had chosen St. Rocco fraternity as their last resting place. Moreover, author also has analyzed all the legacies regarding the bestowal of the fraternity and their members, as well as the legacies regarding the funeral ceremony that included the fraternity or its members. At the end, author emphasizes that one of the purposes of this research was to point out importance of this, not so known but very signifi cant, part of daily life of Croatian emigration in Venice.
