• Abstract
  On March 22, 1848, Venice, rebelled against the Austrian domination, proclaimed the Republic of San Marco. When the news reached the communities of the eastern Adriatic coast, which were closely following the ferments of the liberal revolutionary project of that year, the population did not rise up, but pro-Venetian committees were formed and volunteers took the path of the lagoons: fifty years in fact, of the French and Austrian governments had not completely erased the positive memory of the Serenissima. At that time, however, the issue concerning the national identity had already become current, so much so that the Croatian aspirations to incorporate Dalmatia did not coincide with those of the Italian population, attracted by the project of national unification of the peninsula. The paper illustrates the participation of Dalmatians and Istrians both in the Government and in the defense, equipped with arms, of the Venetian Republic of San Marco. Here are mentioned the army and navy departments where the volunteers were placed in. Also presented are some significant episodes, taken from archival documentation, which characterized the troubled history of the Dalmatian-Istrian legion. When, on 24 August 1849, Venice capitulated and the third Austrian domination began, forty civil and military authorities were banished from the city by order of the Austrian general Karl von Gorzkowskj: among them were the Dalmatians Nicolò Tommaseo, Antonio Paolucci and Federico Seismit-Doda, the Istrian Nicolò Vergottini and Demetrio Mircovich, from the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska / Bocche di Cattaro)
