Abstract
Alongside the sardine factory established in 1931, Uble Bay received in 1933-1936, during the Italian occupation of Lastovo Island, a planned industrial settlement originally called San Pietro and later Luigi Razza. Two streets lined with standardized, single-storey family houses, each with a garden, run to the rectangular square with a new church and public buildings built in the spirit of
Italian rationalism and novocento. Technical designs were signed by engineer Ettore Vacchi but it is not certain if he created the concept of the settlement. Uble was developed as part of Mussolini’s urban planning project in the ‘provinces’ and was the first Croatian small ‘industrial town’ built before Raša and Podlabin.
