Istrian villages carry only a few surnames and – at the same time – numerous families proud of their diversity. Every family has their nickname, which says a lot about their ancestry to others in that village. More than they understand or would be willing to say. Verbal transfer, generations ago, creates an image about us in the eye of a stranger. An image of which we can be more or less proud, but for which we are neither meritorious or guilty. Tradition is passed on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"tradition\"<\/p><\/div>\n

My name is \u00a0Vedrana, the granddaughter of \u0110ina Bilinova, Mladen\u2019s daughter. Moj great grandfather, Ivan \u0160ergo \u2013 Bilin, grandson of Pijere \u0160ergo \u201cBilin\u201d, was – according to the word of mouth – a good, smart and capable man. I\u2019ve never met him. He dies while my father was still a child. The same land he farmed back then is farmed by us<\/a> today. Kamenjak, Proganj, Zacrikva, Pricrkiva, Zatrsina, Vrta\u2026 carried the same names and meaning .<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\n\t\u201c…pride and commitment, food for body & soul<\/span>.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

In the time I was born, his fields were farmed by my grandparents, \u0110ina and Nini. Back then olive trees were but a few. It was a persistent cultivar which grew in the edges of vineyards or by a stone wall. Only about 30 years ago the course was changes: vineyards and ploughlands one by one became olive groves.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
