Onofrio Della Cava

(Cava de' Tirreni near Salerno, early 15th c.? – Naples, after 1455) Onofrio di Giordano della Cava could probably not even have imagined that the inhabitants and many visitors of Dubrovnik would continue to mention his name daily almost six centuries after his death. Namely, both east and west ends of Placa (Stradun) main street in Dubrovnik, have one Renaissance “Onofrio” fountain, so his is probably the most frequently mentioned personal name in Dubrovnik, because these fountains, besides bringing water to the city and serving as its decoration, have also become visual spatial references, i.e. places where people agree to meet.

Pasko Miličević

(Dubrovnik, c. 1440 – Dubrovnik, 18 August 1516) Just like the name of Nikola Božidarević is the symbol of Renaissance painting in Dubrovnik, so the name of Paskoje Mihov Miličević is the symbol of Renaissance architecture in Dubrovnik. Besides the high quality of the works they created and the common epoch they lived in, they are also connected by the fact that we know almost nothing of their origin and formative years.

Pero Čingrija

(Dubrovnik, 24 August 1837 – Dubrovnik, 13 July 1921) Pero Čingrija was one of those striking figures whose social activities would leave a mark on any period. Thanks in large part to the fact that as a young man he participated in the political events of the then Kingdom of Dalmatia that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his longevity, Čingrija was an active participant of political and social events throughout the entire second half of the 19th and the first two decades of the 20th century. We would, therefore, be right to say that not only was he a political figure, he was a true political leader.
