This part of Croatian immigration to Venice was particularly strong, and many data about it is preserved in the Venetian State Archives (Archivio di Stato di Venezia). By the same token, tombstones of these immigrants additionally testify about their social status and
economic possibilities; particularly tombstone inscriptions ordered by people from the Bay of Kotor, Budva and Bar that can be found in many Venetian churches in the city and on the nearby islands of the Lagoon. The authors have analyzed in detail gender, native and professional structures of these immigrants, whose sepulchers remained in Venice and on the nearby islands.

Servolo and S. Michele).
