Serb?

I don't see a way how this man could have been a Serb. Not only was he born in Trieste (historically and even today part of Italy), but he identified as "Leo Brenner", which is by no means a Slavic name. I've added a {{Croatia-bio-stub}} template, since he's listed in Category:Croatian astronomers, but I'm not sure if that's appropriate either. —Admiral Norton ^(talk) 17:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he was a Serb

His forefathers came from today's Montenegro and lived later in Trieste. Furthermore, his domicile, the Palazzo Gopcevic, today a museum, is in Trieste. http://images.google.at/images?hl=de&um=1&sa=1&q=palazzo+gopcevic&aq=f&oq=

Also Gopcevic let the Serbian-orthodox church Saint Spiridon in Trieste build. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trieste_Serb-orthodox_church_of_San-Spiridione3.jpg

Me would interest how somebody had the idea that he was a Croat.. ;-) Greetings. --Carski (talk) 14:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
