The evening was greeted by the Ambassador of Italy, Mr. Giovanni Pugliese, the Ambassador of Albania, Mr. Fate Velaj, as well as on behalf of the mayors of the Arbëresh municipalities who came especially to celebrate Flag Day with us in Vienna.
In the framework of the November holidays, the Embassy of Albania in Vienna has organized the third edition of the initiative "A Bridge Called Culture".
This initiative aims to create an atmosphere of cooperation among the diplomatic corps in Vienna, deepening knowledge about each other, and using art and culture as the warmest tool in building relationships between us and through us, thus bringing our communities in Austria closer together.
This time, not without purpose, the Embassy of Italy was chosen to host this edition, a country that is traditionally a friend and permanent partner of our country. With the aim of creating the "middle leg" of our cultural bridge, I invited mayors of Arbëresh municipalities.
It should be noted that the Italian Embassy is located in one of Vienna's most historic buildings, "Palais Metternich".
The evening was greeted by the Ambassador of Italy, Mr. Giovanni Pugliese, the Ambassador of Albania, Mr. Fate Velaj, as well as on behalf of the mayors of the Arbëresh municipalities who came especially to celebrate with us in Vienna Flag Day and this special activity at the premises of the Italian Embassy, Mr. Ernesto Madeo - Mayor of the Municipality of San Demetrio Corone.
In this magical evening, where participants were from the diplomatic corps in Vienna and central Austrian institutions, our artists in Vienna also shone: Gesu Zefi (soprano), Kosti Deti (piano) and Kristi Hifzi (piano).
Amidst the sounds of the piano and the voice of the soprano, excerpts from the literature of our two countries were read. The Ambassador of Italy, Giovanni Pugliese, read in German an excerpt from Ismail Kadare’s “Chronicle in Stone”, while I, also in German, read an excerpt from the novel “La collina del vento” by the renowned Arbëresh writer Carmine Abate. After me, Mr. Ernesto Madeo read the same excerpt in Italian.
