Giorgio Sisgoreo


Giorgio Sisgoreo was an Italian Latinist poet.
He was the first humanist from Šibenik and the central personality of the Šibenik's humanist circle and also one of the most important figures in 15th century cultural life and history of Croatian people.
His Elegiarum et carminum libri tres is considered the first published book by a Croatian poet. American historian John Van Antwerp Fine Jr. emphasizes that Šižgorić and Vinko Pribojević did not consider themselves to be Croats, but rather Slavic language-speaking Venetians.
