About Ivo Tartaglia

Lived 1880 – 1949 (aged 69). Ivo Tartaglia was a Yugoslav politician, jurist, opinion journalist and painter.

Dr. Ivo Tartaglia (; 5 February 1880 – 3 April 1949) was "a committed anti-fascist", a former ban (governor) of the province of Littoral Banovina (Croatian/Serbo-Croat: Primorska banovina),

Following the death of Juraj Biankini, Tartaglia became the president of Jadranska straža.

In June 1948, Tartaglia was put on trial in Split, along with others, on charges of having expressed pro-Mussolini sentiments and otherwise undermining the government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. (Tartaglia had opposed Mussolini during World War II.) He was sentenced to seven years at hard labor, plus the loss of his civic rights for two years after that, as well as having all of his property confiscated.

The ban started a series of projects in Littoral Banovina, building hospitals in Biograd, draining wetlands and the improvement of agriculture, among other projects.

Between 1929 and 1932, during Tartaglia's tenure, the ban of Littoral Banovina was based in Split.
