Prominent Istrians
People


Since we are a non-political and non-commercial website, this section includes only those people who made a contribution to the arts, sciences and the cultural heritage of Istria and its people. Specifically, we exclude individuals whose claim to fame and/or notoriety resulted from their roles as public figures or in the normal course of their business - i.e. politicians, soldiers, the nobility, clergy, and entrepeneurs - as well as the casualties of wars or violence.

Do you recognize any of the famous Istrians in the images below? Some of them gained international fame in their respective fields of science, literature, philosophy, art, music, cinema and sports. Place your mouse on an image to see the individual's name. Click on the image to go to that person's biography, or else make a selection in the left menu. (Note: some of our Prominent Istrians do not have an image.)
