{{for|the Italian singer and songwriter|Alberto Fortis (musician)}}Alberto Fortis (1741–1803), was a Venetian writer, naturalist and cartographer.{{efn|Also known as Abbe Alberto Fortis. and also Abate Alberto Fortis. Abate is an Italian spelling of Abbe {{harv|Name Origin Research staff|2011}} }} LifeBorn Giovanni Battista Fortis{{sfn|International Musicological Society Congress|1990|p=1454}} (his religious name was Alberto{{sfn|International Musicological Society Congress|1993|p={{page needed|date=August 2017}} }}) in Padua on either 9 or 11 of November 1741. He journeyed extensively in Venetian Dalmatia. His best known work is Viaggio in Dalmazia (Travels into Dalmatia), originally published in 1774 and first published in London in 1778.{{sfn|Ciceran|2011}}{{Sfn|Addison's Rare Books & Bindery}} The highlight of the book is the description of "Morlachia", a term used by Fortis for the rural Dalmatian interior to distinguish it from the coastal towns under the influence of Venice. In his book, Fortis presented his literary discovery "Hasanaginica" as a Morlach (Vlach) ballad. Larry Wolf believed Fortis wrote the ballad as a poetry of South Slavs rather than a poetry of the Morlachs.[1] Fortis believed that the Morlachs preserved their old customs and clothes. Their ethnographic traits were traditional clothings, use of the gusle musical instrument accompanied with epic singing. He also published several specimens of Morlach songs. Alberto Fortis's account of the Morlachs, translated into French, English and German brought the Morlachs to the attention of Europe.[2] The Croatian writer Ivan Lovrić, who wrote Notes on 'Travels in Dalmatia' of Abbe Alberto Fortis, accused Fortis of many factual errors, which he attempted to rectify.{{sfn|Maggs|1989|pp=546–563}} Travels into Dalmatia played an important role in bringing the Dalmatian culture to the attention of Europe during the rise of Romantic notions about folklore. Dalmatian hinterlands became epitomized by Hasanaginica, a folk ballad that was first written down by Fortis.{{sfn|Wolff|2003|pp=191–192}} In 1795 Fortis was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in London. He died in Bologna eight years later on 21 October 1803.{{sfn|Ciceran|2011}} Works{{Expand list|date=September 2011}}- Saggio d'osservazioni sopra l'isola di Cherso ed Osero.[3][4]
