Zef Serembe
Giuseppe Serembe ( Arbërisht: Zef Serembe; 6 March 1844 – 31 December 1901) was an Arbëresh lyric poet. He has left some of the best poetry collections in Albanian in the 19th century. The atmosphere of despair and tragedy that haunted him throughout his life surfaces time and time again in his verse. Life Serembe was born in San Cosmo Albanese, in the Calabrian Province of Cosenza, and studied at the college of Saint Adrian. At an early age, he fell in love with a girl from his native village who emigrated to Brazil with her family and subsequently died.

On his arrival in the Old World in September 1875 his fortunes took yet another turn for the wo ...

San Cosmo Albanese
San Cosmo Albanese ( aae, Strigàri; Calabrian: ) is a village and ''comune'' in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. In the territory of the current village a tiny rural settlement called Santo Cosma, formerly dependent on the local Basilian monastery, existed prior to the arrival of Albanians. Following the collapse of Albanian resistance to the Ottoman Empire, Albanian Christians migrated to Italy and settled in the village. As a result, today the village is home to an Arbëresh community.

Activists Of The Albanian National Awakening
Activism (or Advocacy) consists of efforts to promote, impede, direct or intervene in social, political, economic or environmental reform with the desire to make changes in society toward a perceived greater good. Forms of activism range from mandate building in a community (including writing letters to newspapers), petitioning elected officials, running or contributing to a political campaign, preferential patronage (or boycott) of businesses, and demonstrative forms of activism like rallies, street marches, strikes, sit-ins, or hunger strikes. Activism may be performed on a day-to-day basis in a wide variety of ways, including through the creation of art ( artivism), computer hacking (hacktivism), or simply in how one chooses to spend their money (economic activism).

Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires ( or ; ), officially the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires ( es, link=no, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires), is the capital and primate city of Argentina. The city is located on the western shore of the Río de la Plata, on South America's southeastern coast. "Buenos Aires" can be translated as "fair winds" or "good airs", but the former was the meaning intended by the founders in the 16th century, by the use of the original name "Real de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre", named after the Madonna of Bonaria in Sardinia, Italy. Buenos Aires is classified as an alpha global city, according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) 2020 ranking. The city of Buenos Aires is neither part of Buenos Aires Province nor the Province's capital; rather, it is an autonomous district. In 1880, after decades of political infighting, Buenos Aires was federalized and removed from Buenos Aires Province. The city limits were enlarged to include t ...
