Chapter 11 encounters the endeavours of a group of Ionian and Dalmatian intellectuals who were enfolded in the decrepit embrace of the Greek community of Venice during the first half of the nineteenth century—namely, Spiridione Vlandi, Giovanni and Spiridione Veludo, Bartolomeo Cutlumusiano, Antimo Masarachi, Pier-Alessandro Paravia, Niccolò Tommaseo, and Emilio Tipaldo. It examines these men’s bicultural existence and multiple patriotisms, spanning as they did Venice, the Ionian Islands or Dalmatia, Italy, and Greece. Most of these people were actively involved in the 1848 Venetian revolution, a fact that shows just how local and regional, as well as transnational, the various patriotisms engendered by the 1848–9 revolutionary events were. However, the chapter shows that these revolutions also marked the point at which nationalism and transnationalism would start to become incompatible and even to emerge as contrary poles.
