In 1958 in Yugoslavia, a celebration of 450th anniversary of Marin Držić’s birth was organized. This anniversary wax intended to be of national importance and the organizers of the event were the Association of Yugoslav Writers and the Association of Croatian Writers. The State Organizational Board for the celebration of Držić’s anniversary was established. The preserved archival materials, however, show that a lot of problems occurred and that Držić’s anniversary was not marked the way it had been planned.
