Franjo Ksaver Orlando, the founder of the first maritime schools on the Adriatic sea
Boris Franušić
Sažetak
The author analyzes the contribution by the Jesuit Franjo Ksaver Orlando (1723-1784) in the establishment of the maritime schools (maritime library and instrumentation) on the Adriatic (first in Trieste and after the banning of the order in Rijeka).
Father Orlando wrote in the Italian language and signed himself as Francesco Saverio Orlando, so that Italians consider him their own because of his father. The author notes, however, that the Orlando family dwelled for a long time on Croatian soil, and that Franjo Orlando's mother was Croatian.
Father Orlando's loyalty toward Croatia is evidenced by the intercessions he undertook on behalf of his Croatian students. This indicates that he closely identified with his Croatian ancestry.
