ZAGREB, Dec 20 (Hina) - The Cultural and architectural wealth, unfamiliar even to many Croatians, is presented in a recently published monograph "Castles and Gardens in Slavonia - from Zagreb to Ilok", a book by Mladen and Bojana Scitaroci. The monograph describes sixty castles, located between Zagreb and the most eastern Croatian town of Ilok, previously owned by Croatian aristocracy. The book introduces the culture of living and the medieval tradition of the Croatian nobility between the 17th and early 20th centuries. The monograph includs photographs of the castles and gardens, family portraits, nobilities' coats of arms, blueprints of the castles, land registries, and squire property maps. Mladen Obad Scitaroci is a professor at the Zagreb Architectural Faculty, and his wife, Bojana Bojanic Obad Scitaroci, is an freelance scientific researcher. Six years ago, Mladen Scitaroci, person of a noble background, published a book "Castles and Gardens of Hrvatsko Zagorje" (region south-west from Zagreb). "I did not sent that book to any publisher, however, I received praises from Princ Charles, the Harvard Library, and so on", Scitaroci said. "English painter Paul Hogarth, inspired by the book, came to Croatia and made a series of water colour paintings of Zagorje castles. Inspired by the great success of his book, Scitaroci decided to continue his research in Slavonija (a region east of Zagreb, bordering with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). The new book was presented last week in Zagreb. "The Slavonia castles demonstrate a variety of styles, from the late Gothic, central European renaissance, baroque, and classicism, up to neo-romanticism and historicism", Scitaroci said. According to his research, the first castle in Slavonia was built in 1720, in Bilje, by Prince Eugen Savojski, a famous Austrian captain. The castle was built on a property given to Prince Eugen Savojski by empire Leopold First. The builder of the castle cannot be claimed with certainty, but some evidence lead to Johan Lucas von Hildebarndt, a builder of the Belvedere palace, Scitaroci stressed. Large number of the Slavonija castles and gardens are in very bad shape, Scitaroci noted. He believed that the Croatian Government should make a catalogue of the castles for reconstruction, on the model of the catalogue for the reconstruction of Vukovar, a baroque town destroyed by Serbian aggression in 1991. In his two books, Scitaroci included castles north of the Sava River, namely one half of all castles in Croatia. (hina) it/lml
