Trieste, Bonomo and the Reformation

Abstract

Peter Bonomo (1458–1546) je ena osrednjih osebnosti tržaške zgodovine. V času njegovega škofovanja je poprej močna probeneška »stranka« v mestu postala nepomembna, prevladala pa je procesarska usmeritev. Humanist Bonomo, ki jo je zagovarjal, je Trst videl kot samostojno enoto v okviru univerzalne monarhije Habsburžanov. Njegovo povezovanje mesta s širšim zaledjem je bilo vedno povezano z zagovarjanjem avtonomnega statusa. Kranjski začasno podrejeni Trst je okoli leta 1550 dosegel zaželeni status. Peter Bonomo (1458–1546) was a central figure of Trieste’s history. During his tenure as bishop, the town’s formerly strong pro-Venetian “party” was rendered insignificant and the pro-emperor stance gained importance. Its proponent, humanist Bonomo, viewed Trieste as an autonomous unit within the framework of the universal Habsburg Monarchy. Throughout, his efforts to link the town and its hinterlands were tied to advocating for its autonomous status. Such status was achieved around 1550.
