\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2024, we will celebrate 535 years since the Greeks settled in Zamo\u015b\u0107.\u00a0<\/span>The planned meeting will\u00a0<\/span>be related to<\/span>\u00a0creative output of the Greek diaspora throughout Europe. The Fall of Constantinople in particular, triggered a resettlement of the Greeks in many countries and regions outside of Greece proper: Italy, the Balkans, Hungary, Poland,\u00a0<\/span>Ukraine,<\/span>\u00a0and elsewhere. The comprehensive study of this type of artistic activity is rare in the history of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We chose the city of Zamo\u015b\u0107 because the local Greek community became one of the most influential within the Greek diaspora throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The City of Zamo\u015b\u0107, as one of the modern ones, consistently implementing strategic concepts of economic development, was founded by the Chancellor and Grand Hetman of the Crown, Jan Zamoyski, in 1580. Zamo\u015b\u0107, built on the basis of architectural and urban concepts of the Renaissance architectural theories, was planned and\u00a0<\/span>realised<\/span>\u00a0by the Italian architect Bernardo Morando. From the very beginning of its functioning, the city became a\u00a0<\/span>multi-ethnic<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>multicultural<\/span>\u00a0organism. During that\u00a0<\/span>period,<\/span>\u00a0Armenians,\u00a0<\/span>Greeks,<\/span>\u00a0and Italians played the key roles in shaping the economic life of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time, consisting mostly of merchant class, the Greeks were the second largest national\u00a0<\/span>group<\/span>\u00a0after the Armenians. They had received the settlement privilege already in 1589. They were guaranteed all city rights, including access to the city council and offices \u2013\u00a0<\/span>more so<\/span>\u00a0than in other cities in the Commonwealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Orthodox believers, they had also formed a separate religious community. They obtained a permission to build their own church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, next to the market square. In 1591, just two years after they were granted the privilege of settlement, 12 Greek families lived near the market square, while the total number of Greek merchants and craftsmen may have reached about 100 people. Most of them were located in the western part of the market, next to the Armenian quarter. The Greeks were also associated with the Zamo\u015b\u0107 Academy.\u00a0<\/span>Books<\/span>\u00a0in Greek were printed in the academic printing\u00a0<\/span>house,<\/span>\u00a0making it a significant\u00a0<\/span>centre<\/span>\u00a0of Greek printing in the whole Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.<\/span><\/p>\n
