THE PURPOSE OF TULLIO ERBER'S PUBLICATIONS ABOUT THE ALBANIANS OF BORGO ERIZZOS IN FAIK KONICA'S "ALBANIA"

Abstract

The times have dictated the Albanian population to leave their lands and choose survival in other countries. Much less is known about the Arbanians of Dalmatia than about the Arb�reshs of Italy, than about the Arvanites of Greece. The object of the study will be a trinity formed by Faik Konica, his magazine "Albania" and researcher Tullio Erber. His work of 1883 "La colonia albanese di Borgo Erizzo presso Zara" helps with its originality to set the research questions that will be answered. Based on these circumstances, we consider it correct to raise the hypothesis that Erber's writings were published with the aim of making the Albanian public opinion and the opinion of the main European offices aware that the Albanians were an important factor in the region, not only in their own lands, but also in other countries. neighbors, where they moved and recreated their community life. In conclusion and for what we presented above, it can be said that the connection of the "triad" Erber-Konica-"Albania" in function of the inclusion of the history, traditions, values and efforts of the Arb�neshs in the colony of Borgo Erizzo to rebuild the new life in the new country and to be included in his life without losing his national features, was in function of building the right Albanian and foreign public opinion that Albanians are an important and constructive factor in the Balkans and Europe. Wherever they have emigrated, they have carried with them high moral, ethical, spiritual and intellectual values, remaining at the same time connected to the history and memories of the country of origin, as a nationality, which should enjoy its natural rights.
