Dživo Vučić Bunić (or Dživo Sarov Bunić; Italian: Giovanni Serafino Bona; 1592 – 6 March 1658), now known predominantly as Ivan Bunić Vučić, was a Croatian baroque poet and politician from the Republic of Ragusa.
Biography
He was born into a large family in Dubrovnik. He was a member of the Ragusean aristocracy (see House of Bunić), and was four times elected as Rector (Knez) of the Republic of Ragusa.[1] He wrote poetry in Croatian. His most important work is Plandovanja, a collection of 110 poems which included new motives in Croatian literature. Only his religious narrative poem Mandaljena pokornica (Magdalene the Penitent) was printed during his lifetime (1630). A critical edition of Bunić's complete works edited by Milan Ratković was published in 1971.
Bunić Vučić died in Dubrovnik in 1658.[1]
