Why is this important: These rare publications highlight Albania’s cultural relevance and historical connections with Venice, a major intellectual hub during the time. Key works such as Gjon Buzuku’s “Meshari,” Marin Barleti’s “History of Skanderbeg”, and writings by Bogdani and Dhimitër Frangu are believed to have originated in Venice. The exhibition also features maps related to the Balkans and Albania, emphasizing the region’s historical importance.
