On the Other Side of the Adriatic: Migrations from Slavonia to Venice from the 15th to the 17th Century (The Example of Požega)
Lovorka Čoralić
Sažetak
On the basis of original material from the Venetian State Archives (notary testaments), the author describes the development of migration and the presence and activities of migrants from the area of mediaeval and early-modern Slavonia in Venice during the period from the 15th to the 17th century. According to data from Venetian notaries, emigrants from the area that Slavonia at the time included are designated as de partibus Ungarie, or by designation of a concrete town name. In the latter case, the only registered example is the town of Požega. When dealing with emigrants de partibus Ungarie, only those records were used from whose content it was clear that they related to persons from the present territory of Croatia, and thus it was possible to include these people among the members of the Croatian immigrant corpus in Venice. The paper further indicates the intensity of immigration of these people in various time periods, their occupations and places of residence in Venetian town districts and parishes, and also their everyday life among family, relations, friends and acquaintances. Special attention is given to forms of communication between Slavonian emigrants and emigrants originating from other parts of the Croatian state and ethnic territory of that time period. The author also presents indications on the religious life of the emigrants and their relationship to Venetian religious institutions and clergy, as well as their ties with the Croatian national confraternity St. George and St. Tripun (Scuola degli Schiavoni). Based on an overall examination of concrete archive documents, at the end of the paper the author concludes that emigrants from mediaeval and early modern Slavonia can be considered a component of the Croatian emigrant corpus in Venice during past centuries.
