Ivo Grohovac was born in 1875 in Grohovo. In his native place, he taught school; He served in Pest, then as a trade assistant in Trieste, and finally in Rijeka.
He has published three collections of poems: Rijeka women (Zagreb 1906), Voices from Kvarner (River 1909) and the River and the Rešćina (River 1912). He has worked extensively, among other things, in the Rijeka Messenger (which he did), the Rijeka Newspaper and in the Rijeka New List. The latter is in the section Once and Now under a pseudonym Tik – tak, From July 1913 to March 1914, he published the Chakavian sublist, in many ways an interesting reading that still offers a kind of insight into the social and cultural reality of Rijeka from the beginning of the 20th century.
An ardent fighter for the Croatian national identity of Rijeka and for the need to preserve the local Chakavian speech, his juicy written articles, apart from testifying to the liveliness of Rijeka's social and cultural scene, They are extremely readable even today..
