respectively into "Ivan Bolica" and "Ivan Bunic". Bona was inserted (translated), at first in the anthologies of the "Croatian Latinists" of 1969 and then in the Montenegrin Anthology of 1979. Thus he had entered the first Italian anthology already in 1555, four centuries earlier. Bona entered the book about the Dukess of Paliano, not with poems in a Croatian language, but with an Italian sonnet and a Latin epigram, signing "Giovanni Bona da [from] Cattaro". The famous Croatian essayist Slobodan Prosperov Novak, already president of the "Croatian Center of the Pen Club", has written recently in a book that “Ivan Bolica remains eternally numbered in the Croatian literary history”.
