This is about Wikipedia's article on Fausto Veranzio.

Dalmatia (the dark purple) within todays modern Croatia

Fausto Veranzio is another article on Wikipedia that exhibits nationalistic editing. Fausto Veranzio or Faust Vrančić in modern Croatian [1] is a individual with a Dalmatian heritage.[2] Fausto was born in Šibenik [3] circa 1551 in Dalmatia, a region of the Republic of Venice in todays modern Croatia. [4] In the 19th century Dalmatia became a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Kingdom of Dalmatia). Dalmatia as a province, dates back to the Roman Empire [5] and is several centuries older than Croatia itself. Additionally he was historically a citizen of the Republic of Venice. Fausto was a brilliant scientist in his day and is noted for his invention of the parachute.[6]

“ Wikipedia stated on 3rd of October 2010: ... he was a polymath and bishop from Croatia. [7] ”

It must be stated as an fact that Croatia only became a sovereign state after three hundred and seventy one years after his death and that Dalmatia was not part of Croatia until the middle of the 20th century. Croatia itself has not been a sovereign independent state for nine centuries!

This is using the Wikipedia's article for nationalistic propaganda and is not based on fact. It otherwise tainted a perfectly good article on this unique individual. Some of the Croatian Wiki-Editors just can't separate extreme nationalistic propaganda from an unbiased historical perspective.

More on Fausto Veranzio

Fausto Veranzio in 1617, (then sixty-five years old) implemented his design and tested the parachute by jumping from St Mark's Campanile in Venice. The 17th century Brooklyn Tidal Mill in Long Island (New York), is based on his design and is one of the few still standing mills in the New York City area.

Today a Croatian Navy rescue ship bears the name Faust Vrančić.

He was in Dubrovnik (then called Ragusa) in 1848, he wrote in his; Dalmatia and Montenegro: With a Journey to Mostar in Herzegovina.Volume 1:

“ Italian is spoken in all the seaports of Dalmatia, but the language of the country is a dialect of the Slavonic, which alone is used by peasants in the interior.[11] ”
“ Their language though gradually falling into Venetianisms of the other Dalmatians towns, still retains some of that pure Italian idiom, for which was always noted. [12] ”

Maude Holbach (a 1910 travel guide)

  • Dalmatia-The Land Where East Meets West by Maude Holbach (a 1910 travel guide from COSIMO books and publications New York USA):
“ Two hundred years later that, is, early in the tenth century you might have heard Slavish and Latin spoken had you walked in the streets of Ragusa (Editors note: Dubrovnik),[13] just as you hear Slavish and Italian today; for as times of peace followed times of war, the Greek and Roman inhabitants of Rausium intermarried with the surrounding Slavs, and so a mixed race sprang up, a people apart from the rest of Dalmatia.

The case of Francesco Patrizi, the Venetian philosopher, is a fine illustration of the nationalistic warfare that infests Wikipedia, and the inaccuracy and distortion and bias that follows as a result.

Quote by Ocham-London, United Kingdom:

“ The problem becomes particularly acute in a place like Wikipedia, where the only intellectual interest - that is to say, no intellectual interest at all - lies simply in a nationalistic dispute, in this case between Italians and Croatians. ”
Drawing of suspension cable-stayed bridge by Fausto Veranzio in his Machinae Novae











  • Veranzio's, Machinae Novae (Venice 1595) contained designs of 56 different machines, tools, devices and technical concepts.Two variants of this work exist, one with the "Declaratio" in Latin and Italian. The book was latter written in German, French and Spanish. Veranzio died in Venice in 1617 and was buried in Dalmatia, near by his family's country house.
