Discovering Dalmatia IV
Institute of Art History – The Cvito Fisković Centre, Split, Croatia, 22–24 November 2018

The Discovering Dalmatia conference, to be held from 22 to 24 November 2018 at the Institute of Art History – The Cvito Fiskovic Centre in Split, is the fourth installment related to our interdisciplinary project Dalmatia: A Destination of the European Grand Tour in the 18th and the 19th Century. This year, alongside the traditional papers dedicated to the integration of knowledge about Dalmatia’s historical urban landscape, based on the travel writing of artists and scientists who visited it over the course of their travels, we would like to open the conference to another group of themes.

We have been inspired by the Institute’s new project, The Vocabulary of Classical Architecture, which is supported by the Croatian Science Foundation and conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics, to dedicate a part of the conference to researching variations in terminology relating to historical architectural forms in Dalmatia. In addition, this year’s programme includes the presentation of two extensive garden-related projects focused on two incredibly important Croatian sites. One is dedicated to the gardens of the Benedictine Monastery and Maximilian’s summer residence on the island of Lokrum, across from Dubrovnik. These gardens form part of the city of Dubrovnik, which is itself on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites. The second study, meanwhile, gave rise to the extraordinary restoration project of the classicist garden of the Garagnin-Fanfogna family, on the mainland side of Trogir, right beside the historical walls of this Romanesque-Gothic town, which is also on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
