Someone recommended that we visit Piazza Albania in Rome. We went, and I shared a thank-you from the square.

Skanderbeg’s equestrian statue stands there. Rome’s official tourism site records that the monument was inaugurated in 1940.

For our journey, this was another encounter with Albanian history beyond Albania’s borders. A recommendation from someone following us became a real stop on the road.
