| − | This is using Wikipedia for nationalistic propaganda and is not based on fact. It otherwise tainted a ''perfectly'' good article on this unique individual. Fausto was born in Sibenik circa 1551 in ''Dalmatia'', a region of the Republic of Venice in todays modern Croatia. In the 19th century Dalmatia became a province of the [[Austria|Austro]]-Hungarian Empire (Dalmatia as a region, dates back to the Roman Empire).<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=j-0LAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA158&dq=Roman+empire+province+Dalmatia&hl=en&ei=jfupTJO8JYuSuwO49cTJDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Roman%20empire%20province%20Dalmatia&f=false The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume 1] by Edward Gibbon (p158)</ref>

This period was marked by Venetian warfare against the Turks. When the French gave Venice to [[Austria]] under the Treaty of Campo Formio (1797), '''Dalmatia''' became Austrian also; but in 1805, under the Treaty of Pressburg, Austria had to cede '''Dalmatia''' to Napoleon. It was returned to Austria after Napoleon’s fall and remained an Austrian crownland until 1918.
