La loggia di Sebenico e la costruzione dell’identità locale tra Venezia e l’antico

During the fifteenth century, the cultural scenery of Dalmatia is profoundly influenced by humanist ideas, and antiquity becomes a fundamental part of the new regional identity discourse called Illyrian, also in response to the newly installed Venetian rule in the area. Šibenik, a town in northern Dalmatia, is a particularly interesting case for the investigation of the Illyrian discourse, given its medieval origin and relative demographic and economic prosperity in the fifteenth century, which resulted in the building of the largest Renaissance cathedral (1431–1536) of the Eastern Adriatic coast. In parallel to its construction, Šibenik humanist Juraj Šižgorić in his seminal text De situ Illyriae et civitate Sibenici (1487) through the fabrication of a myth of ancient origin for the city and reading of the urban fabric in Vitruvian terms, emphasizes the communal prestige within the larger regional and proto- national narrative. It is possible to attribute to Šižgorić’s words an almost programmatic value for the sixteenth-century reconstruction of the main square, here understood as a Renaissance interpretation of a Roman forum, with the new loggia (ca. 1532–1547), adorned by all’antica poetic inscriptions that reflect notions developed by the humanist. The architectural concept of the loggia is here attributed to Giacomo di Bartolomeo da Mestre, proto-master of the cathedral in the period, while the sculptural decoration is considered the work of Dujam Rudičić, also active at the construction site of the sanmichelian fortress of San Niccolò near Šibenik.
