- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- More info about travel to Croatia: www.ricksteves... Like the rest of the Croatian coast, Rovinj was part of the Venetian Empire for centuries. And Istria remained part of Italy until after WWII. That's why this region is enthusiastically bilingual and an engaging mix of Croatia and Italy. #ricksteveseurope #rovinj #croatia

Za mene je Rovinj čista desetka ! Zauvek u srcu i mislima❤❤❤
Rovinj my town!
I was in Rovinj in June/2012 and loved this beautiful city, almost as beautiful and romantic as my Rio de Janeiro in Brazil
paulo melo I'm from Rovinj and I was in Rio in 2011..they are 2 very different cities but both nice in their own ways...you should come in rovinj again in 2018,because it has changed a LOT since 2012
Thank you for so nice presentation of our dear Rovinj!!
Beautiful italian city
Why is not in italy then 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
@@mintz347 because somebody killed or deported 90% of the population? 🤷♂️
@@Franz.guarda how manny time i will tell you that these were partisian not croats!!!
I don't see ANYTHING Italian here.
@@mintz347 exactly they were mostly Serbians because croats were fascists in ww2. But what happened in these lands is very sad, and it was censored here in italy (by the communists) until 2004. In schools no one talked about these massacre committed on giulian italians.

Dear colleague, Venetian Republic was never Venetian Empire, at least not until it have lost its independence.
My town is the most beautiful little town in the world!
The Istrian people that emigrated (fled?) from Croatia en masse after WWll, were they Italians, Italianized Croats, or a combination of both?
Coastal cities were mostly italian of venetian descent until 1944 (>80%) while the hilly interior was majority slav (mostly slovenes, croats migrated there under Tito's dictatorship) italians were also the majority in cities like Rjeka(Fiume) and Zadar (Zara) but before the Austrian edicts of the 1860s italians were the majority in all of dalmatia's biggest cities while being a big minority in Montenegro and even in West Slovenian cities like Postumia
about italianized croats
about for 500 years Istria was divided between Venice and Austria, ( 2/3 Venice, 1/3 Austria)-in the 16th and 17th centuries due to frequent plague epidemics (every 15 years) as well as wars Venice and Austria immigrated population.
Venice immigrated the population mainly from Dalmatia, Montenegro and Albania - the Venetian Terre del mar- because the land in Istria is difficult to cultivate and the population had to deal mainly with small livestock (sheep, goats) and the peasants of northern Italy did not cope with such land. Immigrants from Italy usually finished in towns. Even so when analysing surnames from town of Pula- Pola from 16. th century there are about 43 % of ”slavic” surnames but it is wrong to say that they were slavs. The population of the cities quickly accepted Italian customs and language
For instance - mayors of two Istian towns today ( Bale -Valle and Vodnjan - Dignano) have the same name Edi Pastrovicchio and they are italians.
But there were a priest in Dignano in 1604 called Domenico Pastrovich, the same priest was called Domenico Pastrovicchio in 1608.
And Pastrovich are the Montegrino fraternity ( tribe) settled around St Stefan and immigrated to Istria in 1567. ( Pastrovich fraternity have about 4o different surnames and can be found in whole Istria- croats and italians ).
As there are many montenegrino surnames in Istria there are also many albanian surnames ( also settled in 16. century like Maras, Poropat, Albanese, Macura, Flego, Ceci. Bukmir, Kapor...... and so on) Of course you can find croat and italian versions of these surnames,
Croats surnames originates mostly from Central Dalmatia.
For instance surname Ivetic originates from Herzegovina, they were first settled near Zadar, later from Zadar to Istria. Some returned from Zadar ( Zarra) to Bosnia (in the vicinity of Banja Luka where they received land. So. today we have persons who have the same surname ( Ivetic) and are croats, italians or serbs.
They were Romans who later became Italians.
Croats are Slavs who came from Ukraine and invaded the Balkans in the 8th century and settled in the interior Croatia, they have nothing to do with modern day coastal "Croatian" cities.
ech te zachody słonca w Rovinij bylismy widzielismy pokochalismyy... wrócimyy napewnoo !!!
hey, how do i travel to this area by train?
MsRaspberry86 You can get a private driver from Rijeka. Taxis are expensive. The cheapest way is by bus. That woulad take just under 3 hours. There are longer bus journeys via Trieste. Enjoyable, but not much of a benefit if traveling at night. Good luck! 🤗🌈
Hey Hi Milly. Thank you for your kind information. I appreciate it. :)
In German it´s called Ruwein.
home! :)
A Place looks so friendly and cozy :)
@blueeyeMickey
Rovigno and Nizza are no longer Italian: Rovinj (Croatia) & Nice (France)
Istria belongs to Croatia only since 1991 .The whole coast line was populated by autochthonous istrians ( istro-veneti ) then after WW2 250 000 people left and Istria was re-populated with others from the balkans. Eventough Tito and Tudzman tried to erase every trace of italianity if you happen to go to Rovigno , Albona, Pola etc you can still hear elders speaking original dialects besides in Istria even the stones still speak italian.
Istria Fiume e Dalmazia sono ITALIANI!
When will u stop crying and accept the reality? Stop living inside your fantasy bubble
@Asterix X Remove mafia and includes poverty and murder and you will describe Croatia.
This comment makes absolutely no sense.
ROVIGNO
Your name fits.
what is that suppose to mean ?
What would it cost to live in old town?
too much for you.
Rovigno (not Rovinj) is Italian!
R O V I N J
Come and say it in Rovinj.
Istra Is Italian land
I Musolinijeve.
Poor soul, you are delusional.
Plači crve.... HRVATSKA !!!
Beautifil, all very italian and venetian. It doesn t look croatian at all
What city in Croatia looks like Croatia?
First of all Im Croatian. My country was ruled by italy (istria, dalmatia), austro hungary (zagorje, slavonia) all those countries left its mark on our cities. People who live in istria, dalmatia, slavonia, zagorje long ago declared themselfs as Croats, I cant understand why do u italians have problem with Croats?! After all we were connected to you centures ago, Croats are RimoChatolic just like Italians. My grand parents were Italians by my father side I declare myself as a Croat, i also love italy. And u italians are well welcomed in Croatia truly. I have lost of italian friends who dont see problem bethween Croats and italians. Croatia didnt have a chance to build its own cities since it never was ruled by itself, we were always ruled by others, but thankfully since 91' we are independent, and thankfully our Croatian indentity has never faded away no matter who ruled our land.
CROATIA❤ITALY
@@aesthetic2660 Yes that is true today Croatia occupies old italian territories like Istria and Dalmazia that had never ever been Croatia before WWII. You are right, its all really Italian and Austrian.

@@louisefun3095 i have tried to make a good comment that everyone would understend, but u only want to argue in comments. I dont have complex as u do. Im very much happy person living in such a beautiful contry called Croatia. I wish u all the best. Fighting online wont bring u happines, it wont make dalmatia or istria italian it will only leave u with hatred and sadness. In my previous comment i tried to explain u that Italians are well welcomed guests in Croatia, that we here dont have any issues with Italy or Italians. Like I said before I know manny Italians who like Croatia but dont have oppinion that u do. Everybody in Dalmatia and Istria consider themselfs Croat, well atleast 90%, italians dont even make 10%. Bye.
@@aesthetic2660 these statistics are probably accurate, but they are such because genocide was perpetrated against Italians, as many as 350,000 Italians were expelled and killed. Unfortunately, little is known about this either.
Rovigno not Rovinj.
Keep dreaming!
@@davormajorski4915 are you even from Istria ?
@@VALDIGNE I am from Croatia, and Istra is (mostly) a Croatian county. Your original comment implied a dangerous territorial claim. You should think twice before making such a comment, given the tragic history of central and eastern Europe.
@@davormajorski4915 what part of Croatia do you come from ?
@@VALDIGNE Zagorje.
@blueeyeMickey Belgrade,Turkey
Roma + Venice = Rovigno
