Vlaho Stulli (Croatised as Vlaho Stulić; 8 October 1768 – 19 December 1843), was a Croatian and Ragusan poet, playwright and public servant of the Republic of Ragusa. Influenced by Croatian-Ragusan writers Nikola Nalješković and Marin Držić, as well as Italian Carlo Goldoni,[2] he is best known for his naturalistic satire comediographic work Kate Sukurica in Croatian, Diario (Diary) in Italian and epigrams in Latin language, written to his friends.[2] Stulli lived and wrote during the period of the stronger influence of the French language and literature ("French wave" known as frančezarija[5]) in Dubrovnik, whose writers and playwrights translated many of Molière's comedies into Croatian,[6] adapting them to local idiom and mentality,[7] as well as influences of Latin language, Italian language theatre troupes and style-pluralistic Croatian literature;[8] the 18th century being considered the "golden century" of Ragusan literature.[9] Stulli is the most prominent representative of the late 18th-century Ragusan drama[10] and his comedy Kate Kapularica the best Ragusan play of that time.[11]
