On August 23, 1797, the citizens of Perast gathered to bury the flag of the Republic under the altar of the cathedral, to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. Before the kneeling crowd, Viscovich delivered an emotional speech, the ''Discorso de Perasto'', still well known to Venetians. Contemporary chroniclers say that Giuseppe said to his young grandson, present at the ceremony, "You too kneel, Annibale, and remember these words as long as you live."
Captain Viscovich's impassioned speech is often cited as an expression of the loyalty which many Croatian, Serbian and Montenegrin subjects of the Venetian Republic felt. Provided by Wikipedia
