Sažetak
The text presents the work of the Italian architect Pietro Nobile (1774–1854) concerning the Dalmatian monuments. A particular emphasis is given to his early work, which ends with his removal to Vienna in 1818. Alongside biographical data, in the text two Nobile’s drawings
of Diocletian´s palace (the southern facade and the Peristyle dating from around 1810) are published, as well as translations into Croatian of the two documents (the Proposal regarding Architectural Antiquities of Illyria from 1813 and the Preliminary Plan for the founding of the Archaeological Society from 1814). These documents are analysed as testimonies to the changes in the conservation of monuments. This is particularly evident in Nobile´s two texts in which he strives to institutionalise the protection of monuments in the newly occupied territories. In accordance with the departure from Napoleon´s model of the appropriation and creating of autonomous research institutions and museums, Nobile proposes the founding of local research units. Transposing the experience of Roman antiquarians and restorers whom he came in contact with in the early nineteenth century (Canova, Valadier), he insisted that primarily the antique heritage be researched and protected. Archaeologists and conservators from local communities were, thus, given a chance to collaborate on state-funded projects. Nobile´s ideas appear comparatively early given also the European context, presaging the institutional work by the Prussian, French and Austrian state services, which were launched mainly in the mid-nineteenth century. In these documents Istrian and Dalmatian monuments hold a special place.
