Is Skanderbeg, the National Hero of Albanians, Present in the Paintings of Vittorio Carpaccio?!
Abstract
There is yet no comprehensive and detailed study about the great presence of Arbëror community in the city and surroundings of Venice, in the Medieval period. A little has been written about these immigrants of Arbërore lands, about the circumstances while they left, the specific times of their movement to these areas, their social organizations in the new homeland, contributions in political, military, cultural and literary life, assimilation and the tracks they left behind, etc. In the beginnings of the fourteenth century, while the Ottoman invasions extended to the main areas of Arbërore territories, a considerable part of local population started to move to Italian coasts from the nearest Calabrian coasts to the territories of Italian Republics and kingdoms, such as: Ancona, Venice, Naples, Genoa, etc. Generally, the perception that massive immigrations of Albanian to the Italian peninsula occurred after the death of our national hero Gjergj Kastriotit Skënderbeu, fall of the Anti-Ottoman endurance and capitulation of Shkodra at the Ottomans by the Venetians, i.e. after the 1478.
Keywords: immigration, paintings, religion,arbëror community, symbol, etc.
