Pula has a complex history, as the city was governed by different countries with different forms of government in different epochs. [3] [4]

In classical antiquity, Pula was inhabited by the Histri, [5] a Venetic or Illyrian tribe. It was conquered by the Romans in 177 BC, [5] whereafter followed a period of Romanization. The town was elevated to colonial rank between 46 and 45 BC as the tenth region of the Roman Republic, under Julius Caesar. [5] [6] In the 5th century it was conquered and occupied by the Visigoths and then Ostrogoths. In the second half of the 6th century the Slavs started their occupation of the Istrian peninsula. From 788 Pula was ruled by the Franks, who introduced the feudal system. [3] [4]

In 1150 Pula swore allegiance to the Republic of Venice. In the following centuries, Pula was devastated by war and epidemics. As a result of its decimated population and ruined economy, the city fell into disrepute. However, the town was saved by organized Croatian and South-Slav settling. After a small period under the secular realm of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, the city was retaken by the Venetians, who held it from 1331 until 1797. With the collapse of the Venetian Republic in 1797 following Napoleon's Treaty of Campo Formio, Pula became part of the Habsburg monarchy. It was invaded again in 1805 after the French had defeated the Austrians. It was included in the French Empire of Napoleon as part of the Kingdom of Italy, then placed under the French Empire's Illyrian Provinces. [3] [4]

In 1813, Pula was regained by the Austrian Empire. Following the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918, Pula passed to Italy. [7] For two years after World War 2, Pula was administered by the Allied Military Government for Occupied Territories (AMG). Pula formed an enclave within southern Istria that was occupied by Yugoslavia since 1945, with the help of Churchill. Istria was partitioned into occupation zones until the region became officially united with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 15 September 1947, under terms of the Paris Peace Treaties. Since the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, Pula has been part of the Republic of Croatia. [3] [4]

The list starts with the podestà appointed by the Serenissima during the Venetian period. It includes all the podestà, provveditori , counts and mayors who have governed the city since 1186. [4] [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">House of Loredan-Santo Stefano</span> Venetian Noble Lineage

The House of Loredan-Santo Stefano was a cadet branch of the House of Loredan that existed from the 14th century until 1767. The branch was mainly settled in the Palazzo Loredan in Campo Santo Stefano, which they acquired in 1536 from the Mocenigo family. The progenitor of the branch is considered to be Gerolamo Loredan "dal Barbaro" di S. Vitale (d.~1474), father of Doge Leonardo Loredan and Dogaressa Caterina Loredan. Besides Leonardo, the branch also gave Doge Francesco Loredan.

Loredan is a Venetian surname. The House of Loredan is an aristocratic Venetian family that included various doges of the Republic of Venice, and the surname is almost exclusively associated with the family. The surname most likely originated from the toponym Loreo, which itself originated from its Latin name Lauretum, meaning laurel. Another theory of the origin of the surname, though most likely legendary, is that it comes from the Latin epithet Laureati, given to ancestors of the Loredan family due to their historical glory in ancient Rome and the many victories they achieved in battles. The surname is spelled Loredano or Loredan in Italian, Lauredano or Lauredanus in Latin, and Lorentano (Λορεντάνο) in Greek, though it is also historically found as Lordas (Λορδᾶς) and Lordano (Λορδάνο). The feminine name Loredana, common in Italy and Romania, was likely inspired by the surname.

Giorgio Loredan was a Venetian nobleman, admiral, military general and politician of the Loredan family, known for investigating political crimes and scandals as head of the Council of Ten.
