Lovro Monti - Achievements and Legacy

Achievements and Legacy

During his mandate he developed Knin and the surrounding area, especially in agriculture. He left a legacy of reciprocal respect between the different communities of the Knin region.

In his will he left to the Knin municipality his farm, later called "Montova glavica" with the condition that an agricultural school would be founded there.

During SFRY, the real estate was divided and some leaders of the Knin municipality got assigned for themselves the construction yards. The school has never been named after him. Monti belonged to the rich "class of gentlemen" and, according to the communist criteria of that time, would have been considered an "heresy" to name a school after him.

However, there has been made a monument in front of the school on his honor.

Famous quotes containing the words achievements and, achievements and/or legacy:

    Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.
    Stella Chess (20th century)

    There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
