Jerko Machiedo (24 November 1877 – 10 February 1962) was a Croatian and politician and physician.
Biography
Machiedo studied medicine at the University of Graz. He earned his doctoral degree there in 1901. Following military service in Zadar and further training at a clinic in Graz, Machiedo was first employed as the substitute town physician in Ston in early 1902. Later that year, he was hired as the municipal physician in his hometown of Hvar. Machiedo retained that position until 1909. He married Tereza Pinkava and they had sons Dušan and Dimitrije, and daughter Milica. Dimitrije's son Mladen [hr] became a member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2014.
In 1908, Machiedo was elected a representative in the Diet of Dalmatia on the ticket of the Croatian Party [hr] (a party created through merger of the People's Party and the Party of Rights [hr]. In 1910, he was appointed the deputy president of the provincial government of the Austro-Hungarian crown land of Dalmatia.
Following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, Machiedo was arrested on political grounds and held in custody pending trial in the Mamula Fortress and in Herceg Novi. He was acquitted and conscripted as a military physician, in service until early 1918. Then he returned to Zadar and his post in the provincial government. Following the 1918 occupation of the eastern Adriatic by the Allies of World War I and arrival of Italian troops to Zadar, Machiedo is placed under house arrest. In early 1919, he is exiled by the Italian authorities to the island of Sardinia and then to the area of Ancona before being returned to Zadar. After the city of Zadar is awarded to Italy under the Treaty of Rapallo, Machiedo left Zadar and moved to nearby Šibenik, then in the newly established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia).
