Sažetak
The paper discusses the presence and activities of the emigrants from Budva in Zadar in the period between the end of the 16th c. and the beginning of the 19th century. This research is based on the analysis of the material safe-kept at the State Archives in Zadar (notarial documents; documents of general proveditors). The introductory part offers general data concerning the emigrants from Budva in Zadar (social and professional structure of emigrants; relations with ecclesiastical institutions from Zadar; general integration factors, etc.). In the central part of the paper, documents (primarily testaments) relating to every individual emigrant are analysed in chronological order. Upon examining the documents, it became obvious that the inhabitants of Budva had belonged to diverse social classes. They are registered as belonging to either the lower or the middle class, and working as either agricultural labourers or tradespeople. Others, however, such as captain Franjo Antonioli and general Marko Antun Bubić, were – in their time – highly appreciated and known at a level surpassing the local one. On the whole, the conclusion may be drawn that the inhabitants of Budva, who had lived in Zadar during the centuries of the Venetian rule on the eastern Adriatic coast, were a prominent native group that had succeeded in achieving full integration in their new place of residence.
