Following Nemčić’s Travelogues (Putositnice) or where did Antun really stay during his visit to Venice?

Putopisno djelo originalna naziva Putositnice višeslojno je književno ali i žu-rnalističko djelo koje otkriva Antuna Nemčića kao zanimljiva pripovjedača, repo-rtera, povjesničara umjetnosti, filozofa, kroničara, kozera kojeg su proučavali mnogi hrvatski kritičari s različitih stajališta. Nemčić je malu, gotovo nikakvu, pozornost privukao kao gastronomad, poklonik dobre hrane i pića, koji je, uz ono što mu je bilo ponuđeno na tanjuru, pozorno bilježio i ambijent, njegovu urednost i uređenost, kao i osoblje gostionica, svratišta, trattoria, locanda, osteria i kavana koje je posjetio na svom putovanju od Ludbrega do sjeverne Italije u razdoblju od 28. veljače do 23. travnja 1843. godine. Nemčićeve opaske, primjedbe te prijedlozi i sugestije i danas su aktualne i poučne turističkim djelatnicima i ugostiteljima, kao i samim putnicimaThe travelogue entitled Putositnice/ Travel Trifles is a literary as well as journalistic work which shows Antun Nemčić as an interesting narrator, reporter, art historian, philosopher, chronicler and a causeur. Putositnice has been interpreted from different sides. However, Nemčić drew very little, if any at all, attention to himself as a gastronomad, a devotee of good food and drink who, apart from tasting what has been offered, carefully notices the ambience, neatness, decoration and the personnel of eatinghouses, trattorias, inns, locandas, osterias and coffee shops he visited on his passage from Ludbreg to Northern Italy from 28th February till 23rd April of 1843. Nemčić’s remarks, suggestions and comments still today bear the same freshness and are instructive to both, those employed in tourism and to holiday-makers or globetrotters. This particularly refers to eating-houses and coffee shops that have kept the old names from Nemčić’s days

Contribution to the History of the Brass Bands in the City of Križevci until the Year 1982

Preko 170 godina u Križevcima se organizirano školuju glazbenici. Zahvaljujuci i nekadašnjem Glazbenom zavodu kao preteci današnje Glazbene škole Alberta Štrige, ali i vrsnim strucnjacima koji su u grad pod Kalnikom došli s uglednih europskih konzervatorija da bi poucavali i vodili buduce glazbenike. Cetvorica čeških kapelnika došli su u Križevce s diplomom konzervatorija u Pragu, a jedan poljski s konzervatorija u Berlinu. Nakon Prvog svjetskog rata brojni su se Cesi zapošljavali u Križevcima u javnim službama pod uvjetom da sviraju u Gradskoj limenoj glazbi. Stvoreno je bogato glazbeno nasljede i dosegnuta glazbena kultura koju promicu orkestri, sastavi i pjevacki zborovi.Thanks to the former Music Institute as the precursor of the present School of Music Albert Štriga, but also the excellent experts, who had come to the city under the mountain of Kalnik from reputable European conservatoires in order to teach and guide future musicians, musicians receive an organized education in Križevci for over 170 years. Four Tzech bandmasters arrived in Križevci with the diploma of the conservatoire in Prag, and one Polish with the diploma of the conservatoire in Berlin. After World War I, numerous Tzechs were hired in the public services of Križevci under the condition that they play in the City Brass Band. A rich musical heritage was created and a musical culture, promoted by orchestras, bands and choirs was achieved

\u27Križevci Dragons\u27 Found Antun Nemčić\u27s Birthplace

Mađarsko mjestance Edde u Zupaniji Somogy , dvadesetak kilometara od Kaposvara, do kojeg vodi samo jednosmjerna cesta, otkrilo je poslije 193 godine da je tu 14. siječnja 1813. godine rođen hrvatski pisac, putopisac i pjesnik Antun Nemčić-Gostovinski. To treba zahvaliti članovima Križevačkog stola Družbe Braća Hrvat-skoga zmaja koji su u ožujku 2006. posjetili Edde, a u svibnju iste godine na svečani način u tamošnjoj mjesnoj crkvi otkrili spomen-ploču Nemčiću. Iako je taj događaj doprinos hrvatsko-mađarskom prijateljstvu i obrosusjedskoj kultur-noj suradnji Koprivničko-križevačke županije i regije Somogy, postavlja se hipotetsko pitanje: bi li uistinu Nemčiću bilo drago kad bi doznao da su Hrvati obilježili njegove ugarske korijene. Iz njegova se ponašanja za života, iz javnoga djelovanja i napisanih članaka, može zaključiti da je Nemčić ipak skrivao svoje mađarsko porijeklo.The Hungarian village of Edde in Somogy County, reached by a one-way road 20 km from Kaposvar, discovered after 193 years that it was the first to have seen Antun Nemčić-Gostovinski, Croatian writer, poet and travel writer born on 14th January, 1813. The credit goes to the members of the Kriæevci Branch of the Society ‘Brethren of the Croatian Dragon’ who visited Edde in March of 2006 and in May of the same year unveiled a plaque in memory of Nemčić in the local church. Although this event is a humble contribution to Hungaro-Croatian friendship and neighbourly co-operation and relations between Koprivnica-Križevci and Somogy Counties, one must ask if Nemčić himself would have been pleased to learn that the Croats paid tribute to his Hungarian roots. Nemčić’s attitude during his lifetime, his public activities and articles, lead to conclusion that Nemčić tried to hide his Hungarian origin
