On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the birth of the Croatian playwright Marin Drzic, also known as Marino Darsa Raguseo, a conference will be held in Dubrovnik and Siena, September 2-7, 2008.
In addition to issues relating to the works of Drzic, the conference will also focus on the following topics: the Renaissance city state, the church in the 16th century, Dubrovnik as seat of Mediterranean espionage, Renaissance comedy in Croatia and Italy, political thought and practice in the 16th century, Renaissance art in Dubrovnik and Dalmatia.
The first two days of the conference will take place within the city walls of Dubrovnik; on September 5th we will sail aboard the Tirena, a replica of a Renaissance galleon, and visit islands in the vicinity of Dubrovnik. On September 6th participants will fly to Siena, where Marin Drzic was a Chancellor of the University, for a day-long excursion/seminar. The last day of the conference, September 7th, will include a re-enactment of a Renaissance feast at the Rector's Palace in Dubrovnik.
