Giacomo Vuxani, the Albanian-Italian politician and patriot, died in Trieste (Italy). He was born in Arbanasi, southeast of Zadar (Croatia), in 1886. Giacomo Vuxani completed his secondary classical studies in Zadar, in 1910. He then enrolled in the Faculty of Law of the University of Graz, Austria. At the same time, he began to participate intensively in the Italian life of his hometown and in the activities of patriotic and nationalist associations. Giacomo Vuxani never forgot the language of his ancestors’ homeland, the Albanian language, which his family spoke and preserved with great love and passion, just as they preserved Albanian customs and traditions. In 1910, Giacomo Vuxani promoted and organized the “Italo-Albanian Association” of Borgo Erizzo, which cultivated ties with Albania and collaborated with the most prominent exponents of the diaspora, such as Zef Skiroi (Giuseppe Scirò) and Rosolino Petrotta. Giacomo Vuxani also collaborated closely with the magazine “Albania”, Brussels-London (1897-1909). (In the photo: Giacomo Vuxani)
