Sažetak
Pietro Paolo Vergerio, Jr (Petar Pavao Vergerije, ml), was born to a nobleman’s family in Koper (Capodistria) in 1498. He studied law in Padua and served for a while as a justice in the Venetian Republic before entering a church service. As a bishop of Capodistria he was drawn to the Reformation, and after dedicating himself to the study of their writings, he adopted Luther’s reformation teachings and joined the Protestants. He was then tried and banished from the order at the Council of Trent, upon which he continued to work with his brother Giovanni, the bishop of Pola, until 1549, when he had to leave Istria and seek refuge in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. From 1533 we find him in Tübingen, Germany, where he is a man of confidence of the Duke of Württemberg, publishes works in the Protestant spirit and collaborates with Primož Trubar. He died there in 1565. Fulvio Tomizza (1935-1999), himself a native of Istria and Trieste, and writer at the north-eastern border of Italian literature, published extensive research on Vergerio as a man of the border in the context of tremendous changes occurring in sixteenth-century Europe, bearing in mind political, social and cultural changes he had witnessed in Istria and its borders after the Second World War. Tomizza created a singular literary character, whose words are taken verbatim from the documents that he had excavated from numerous European archives and incorporated into his work Il male viene dal Nord (Evil Comes from the North, 1984), a historical novel about the Reformation, whose quincentennial we are currently marking in 2017, concerning the people from the border and a history suffered to play out in motions and returns in the spirit of Giambattista Vico’s philosophy.
