Lovro Monti (Knin 21 April 1835 - 9 April 1898) was a Dalmatian politician of Italian descent. He was a Dalmatian Italian, whose grandfather fought for the Republic of Venice against Napoleon. ==Biography== In 1859 Monti graduated from law school in Padua (Italy), and lately worked as an apprentice in Split for a while. Along with Miho Klaić, Natko Nodilo (another Dalmatian Italian), Mihovil Pavlinović, lawyers Stjepan Mitrov Ljubiša and Konstantin Vojnović, Monti was one of the founders of the People's Party (″Narodna stranka") in Dalmatia, and the Illyrian movement. Since 1862 he worked in Knin as a lawyer, and in 1866 he became the president of the municipality. He has been elected as a deputy in the Dalmatian assembly five times in a row. On the first direct election he became a deputy in a royal council (and was reelected in 1879). He was also one of the leaders and founders of the Italo-Serbian coalition in Dalmatia. In 1874 Monti (renowned for his impartiality and honesty) defended the rights of the Italians of Dalmatia declaring in the Dalmatian assembly that half of the 98,000 population of the Dalmatian cities spoke Italian and needed Italian schools. In 1882, due to the dissatisfaction of the new policy of "Narodna Stranka" against the Italians and Serbs in Dalmatia, he resigned from the public life. Lovro Monti died in Knin in 1898. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lovro Monti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
