Vivian Grisogono

Born in London, where her Croatian parents had finished up as refugees from the Second World War, Vivian Grisogono lived in England for most of her life, but came to live permanently on Hvar when the opportunity rose in 2004. Educated at St. Paul’s Girls’ School and Oxford University, after graduating in Modern Languages she took up physiotherapy and specialized in sports injuries. During the 1991 – 1995 war against Croatia she organized and participated in projects to help the war victims. She has done extensive teaching and writing, and in 2012 published her tenth book, a completely new version of ‘Sports Injuries a Self-Help Guide’. On Hvar her time is divided between treating patients, writing, tending her olives, looking after numerous dogs and cats, and promoting measures for improving health and caring for the environment.
