DON FRANE BULIĆ AND SPLIT

Don Frane Bulić, u široj javnosti poznatiji kao arheolog i svećenik, svakako je ostavio puno više traga u nacionalnoj povijesti, pogotovo na području najvećeg dalmatinskog grada Splita. To se odnosi na različita područja kao što su pedagogija, konzervatorstvo, politika. Tema ovog rada je don Franino cjelokupno djelovanje na području već spomenutog grada Splita. U prvom djelu rada pod nazivom Don Frane Bulić kao ravnatelj gimnazije prikazuje se njegovo ambiciozno ravnateljevanje školom koju on na sve načine pokušava poboljšati, a pritom uvodi i hrvatski jezik kao naukovni što će ga uvesti u mnogobrojne probleme zbog kojih će na kraju biti i prisilno umirovljen. Drugi dio rada pod naslovom Don Frane Bulić kao ravnatelj Arheološkog muzeja u Splitu se dotiče još jednog njegovog ravnateljevanja koje se odnosilo kako sam naslov kaže na Arheološki muzej. U tom djelu se jasno vidi njegova borbenost i zalaganje za izgradnju nove zgrade muzeja koja je bila prijeko potrebna, višegodišnjoj borbi u kojoj don Frane izlazi kao pobjednik. Taj isti žar je bio prisutan i kod nabave muzejskih eksponata, kao i literature za knjižnicu koja je u novoj zgradi bila uređena prema najmodernijim standardima. Treći dio sa nazivom Don Frane Bulić kao konzervator ističe njegovu izričitu upornost kod očuvanja najvećih spomenika kulture, tu osobito treba istaknuti uknjiženje Dioklecijanove palača kao državnog dobra koje je trajalo dugo niz godina te protivljenje postavljanju spomenika Grguru Ninskom na Peristilu. Zadnji dio naziva Don Frane Bulić kao političar donosi njegovo prisustvo u politici grada Splita. Don Frane u poziciji političara stavlja poseban naglasak na kulturu, za koju pokušava iznaći što više financijskih sredstava. Rad je zaključen popisom korištene literature i iznošenjem izvora za korištene slikovne materijale.Don Frane Bulić, widely known as priest and archaeologist, has had a huge impact on national history, especially regarding regional history of Split and surrounding area. His legacy can be found in other various scientific disciplines as well, such as pedagogy, politics and conservatory science. The main subject of this thesis is part of his work that is related to the city of Split. The first part of the thesis deals with the period of Don Frane Bulić's life while he was the headmaster of Gymnasium in Split. From the beginning of his professional work, he was constantly looking for new ways to improve conditions at school. One of those new ideas he implemented was introduction of Croatian as an official language at the school, which has caused him numerous problems and eventually led him to being forced into retirement. In second part of the work we will discuss his time as the director of Archaeological Museum of Split. In this part it is easy to notice his fighting spirit and his efforts to try to find a new, better building for the museum which was necessary in order for the museum to grow, which he achieved. He kept his fighting spirit in the years that came after , which was obvious from the way he fought for each artefact and each piece of literature for the library that was organised by the latest fashion standards. Third part of the thesis is called Don Frane Bulić as conservator tells us a little bit more about his conservatory skills, such as his persistence in naming Diocletian's Palace as a national treasure and his refusal to set the statue of Grgur Ninski at Peristil. The last part, called Don Frane Bulić as a politician gives us clear insight at his role in local politics of Split. In his political work, he never failed to put an emphasis at cultural legacy, for which he tried to get better financing. Literature and photo sources can be found at the end of work
