Lovorka ČORALIĆ
Sažetak
Investigation of various relations between the Croatian immigrants in Venice and the Venetian ecclesiastical institutions and clergy is a rather important issue regarding reconstruction of their social and religious daily life in the new homeland. Consequently, all the research topics regarding pilgrimages, grave inscriptions, consecrations of the renewed churches performed by Istrian, Dalmatian or Boka’s (arch)bishops, together with all the existing relations with particular Venetian churches, monasteries, confraternities, hospitals and clerics represent valuable potential for historical audience. This article follows- up previous investigation of such topics and author’s focus in this article is directed towards relations between immigrants from Croatia and Venetian church of St. Fosca (district of Cannaregio). In the first part of the study author reveals various relations of immigrants from Istria to Boka kotorska with the Venetian church of St. Fosca, and the chief source for this investigation were last wills presently kept in the State Archives of Venice. In the second part of the article author investigates episcopate of Jeronim Fonda, bishop of Nin and Trogir, who led worship service during the solemn consecration of the renewed church of St. Fosca in 1733. Since there is stone inscription from 1847 witnessing about this consecration, in the third part of this article author analyzes this text in which there is a mention of priest Francesco Antivari as one among some other persons, who
were responsible for the renewal of the church. This fact that Antivari was involved in the renewal is particularly interesting since he was most probably descendant of some immigrants from the town of Bar (Atnivari) on the eastern Adriatic coast.
