In June 1867. Prince Nikola of Montenegro visited Boka Kotorska, which was then part of the Austrian Empire. Many Boka Serbs rejoiced at the Duke's visit. The expression of this enthusiasm was the song "Welcome,"composed by Jeronimo Fiorelli, and to the verses of Rist Milić "greetings to Prince Nikola I on arrival in Boka Kotorska". On the visit of the Montenegrin ruler, the Austrian authorities did not look with joy, so the poet published the verses with Fiorelli's notes anonymously (he signed with the pseudonym "... Ić". The song was printed far from Boka: in Novi Sad Danica, 10. (22) June of that year (Serbian newspapers in Austria were, almost all, until 1918. they were dating by the old calendar and not by the state). Fiorelli was less cautious and signed in Danica my last name.
