Monica Belluci |
It is about the Italian model and actress Monica Bellucci.
Invited in Top Show at Top Channel, the owner of the circus "Bellucci" in Tirana, Attilio, stated that is related by blood to Monica and they are cousins because their origin is Albanian.
"It is about more or less at the time of Skanderbeg (1470) where some arbereshe family emigrated to Italy because of Ottoman invasion and from there we have originated."
Although our last name first was "Belushi", the same as American actors Jim and John Belushi, over time the letter "sh" has been substituted by "c" and we have the surname that you know us today," said Attilio.
Now is time for Monica to visit Albania and touch her ancestral roots. This will be another motive for Albanians to like her even more.
