oai:ojs.195.251.214.125:article-982016-06-27T12:00:18Z I Serbi e la confraternita Greca di Venezia Mavroidi, Fani The number of members of the Greek Fraternity in Venice wasfixed, so that was impossible for all the Greeks resident in the city toenter it. However, through the «Serenissima»’s tolerance persons ofSerbian origin were registered in its books. They overlooked the legalpoint of view in order to obtain a more efficacious control of theOrthodox minorities of the Ottoman Empire, by their limitation to oneonly nucleus. Serbian participation in the Greek Fraternity is notedduring two periods: 1 ) from its establishment until the middle of the sixteenthcentury, and 2) from the overthrow of the Venetian Republic in1797 and afterwards. The interval was connected with the increase inthe Greek colony in Venice and with the establishment oi the Patriarchateof Peć, which favored the return of the Serbians to their nativeland. The percentage of Serbian membership during the first periodwas 2-3%, while during the second period it rose to 8%, because of thediminution of the Greek colony. During the first period most of theSerbians came from Montenegro, being Balkan emigrants from theTurkish expansion, while during the second period they came fromDalmatia, which had been a Venetian province for a long time. The Serbians of the first period consistently fulfilled their monetaryobligations to the Fraternity, but they did not compete with theyGreeks in the spontaneous increase in contributions noted after the year1533. However they made a considerable contribution to the Fraternity’sendeavour to obtain its own church and proportionally enjoyeda remarkable degree of participation in its administration. They becamecouncilors, vice presidents, and on two occasions the fraternity had aSerbian president. Their usual profession was that of merchant andseveral of them were among the most eminent members of the Fraternity.It seems probable that many of them belonged to noble Serbianfamilies and had fled to Venice for political reasons. The Serbianpresence in this association was a different nature during the last period,when the Serbians’ only aim was the various professional possibilitiesfurnished by the city of Venice.
