177 years ago, Jeronim De Rada founded the first Albanian newspaper

Like today 177 years ago, the Arbëresh Jeronim De Rada founded the first Albanian newspaper "L'Albanese D'Italia" in Naples.

On February 23, 1848, the first issue of the newspaper "L'albanese d'Italia" (The Albanian of Italy) was published, which defended the rights of Albanians, listing facts and arguments from the history of Albania, with the aim of making public opinion in Italy and beyond.

The National History Museum commemorates this significant event today, emphasizing that the press of the time contributed to the social, cultural and political fields during the period of the Albanian National Renaissance.
