A group of Arberesh of Italy manifested this afternoon through the central street of Shkodra city with their costumes, dances and traditional songs showing their roots and their national identity.
The manifestation aims to attract Albania's support for the demand that Arbëreshes have presented to UNESCO for their recognition as a world heritage asset.
Arberesh people are Albanians who emigrated to Italy about 600 years ago to flee from Ottomans who were invading Albania./Oculus News
