  • Antonio (Ante) Bajamonti was a Dalmatian politician. Bajamonti's parents were Josip Bajamonti (Cancelliere Pretoriale di Vis) and Elena Candido of Šibenik. He was one of the most successful mayors of Split which was/is an indisputable fact even for his political competitors. He was an Autonomist who rejected the unification of Dalmatia with the rest of Croatia. He was a medical doctor by profession. He became mayor of Split on 9 January 1860, after Šimun de Michieli-Vitturi for the Autonomist Party and stayed in office until 1864, when he was relieved because of his opposition to Austrian centralism and bureaucracy. He was replaced by Frano Lanza, but in 1965 he united with the Croatian People's Party into the Liberal Union and won the elections again. He would go on to hold the post for over two decades, until 1880, when he retired from office and was succeeded by Aleksandar Nallini, another Autonomist. After democratic reforms allowed for a greater part of the populace to vote, Bajamonti's Autonomist Party lost the 1882 elections. Croats, who made up the vast majority of the population of Split, were finally able to influence the vote sufficiently and a Croatian mayor was elected, Dujam Rendić-Miočević, a Split lawyer. Bajamonti was also a member of the Parliament of Dalmatia (1861-91) and the Austrian Chamber of Deputies (1867-70 and 1873-79). He married Alojzija Krušević (*1828 + March 2 1901) on October 6 1849. For many years Bajamonti enjoyed the support of Italians and Croats and in this period of relative social peace was the propeller of important public works, including the introduction of lighting gas, building the aqueduct and the hospital, creation of technical schools, the foundation of the Dalmatian Bank and society working. For his initiative Split was also equipped with a square surrounded by galleries. His most famous work was construction of the big fountain that was named later after him. Three months later after the second opening the fountain Antonio Bajamonti died. The fountain was destroyed in 1947 by Yugoslav authorities who considered it as a symbol of fascism and Italian domination of the city. Bajamonti instituted the policy Dalmatian Society (1886) and Società Accommodation Split (1888), until, severely indebted, died in his hometown on January 13, 1891. When he died, the information about his death was displayed in almost all the press in the Kingdom of Italy.
