in the ancient port city of Durrës (Lat. Dyrrachium)

of Tirana. He worked for the Museum of Archeology in Durrës
as well as for the Classical and Mediaeval Art Division of the
Academy of Sciences and is currently director of the National

inspired in good part by the lost grandeur of his ancient ‘Dyrrachium.’

(Open book); Njëqind zemra, Tirana 1989 (One hundred
hearts); Meduza, Elbasan 1995 (Medusa); and Zodiak,
