This talk will show how during this period the most prominent of these aristocrats, Count Stjepan Frankapan of Modru\u0161, sought to strengthen his position by building a support network in Italy, and how as a result he became receptive to the ideas of the Renaissance movement. Stjepan employed artists, architects, and humanists to maintain an international presence and to turn his seat of power into a city reflective of his status. However, the renaissance of Modru\u0161 did not last long. During the late 1460s the Ottomans began to raid Croatia and in 1493 the city was burned to the ground. Nevertheless, Count Stjepan\u2019s short-lived project invites us to reconsider the early diffusion of the Renaissance movement across the Adriatic which until now has been presented in the historiography largely as an urban phenomenon exclusive to Dalmatian cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Luka \u0160poljari\u0107<\/strong> is assistant professor of medieval history at the University of Zagreb\u2019s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
