Gjergj Luca, a prominent and provocative businessman, has recently made headlines not just for his success in the business world but also for his unique tribute to Italian politics. Luca has inaugurated a new restaurant in Shëngjin, Albania, dedicated to Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy. This gesture is not merely a business move but a symbol of gratitude and appreciation.

The opening of the restaurant is Luca’s way of honoring Meloni for her substantial contribution to the Albanian community. According to Luca, Meloni played a pivotal role in helping approximately 500,000 Albanians secure their pensions—a milestone many had deemed impossible. Luca's heartfelt message on social media underscores his admiration: "We have dedicated this establishment to this remarkable woman because she has assisted around 500,000 Albanians in obtaining pensions, something we never thought would be possible."
The new restaurant is more than just a dining venue; it is a vibrant homage to Meloni. The walls of the restaurant are adorned with numerous paintings of the Prime Minister, depicting various phases of her life and career. This artistic display is intended to capture the essence of Meloni's impact and legacy.
Luca's establishment is not just about food; it’s a fusion of culinary excellence, art, and politics. He reflects on the significance of this fusion with enthusiasm: “When culinary arts, politics, and gratitude come together, they create something beautiful. Therefore, Rozafa decided to open not just the newest restaurant but also a house of appreciation to strengthen Italian-Albanian friendship. For this purpose, we chose a strong woman as our symbol.”
This new venture, named after Rozafa, represents a colorful celebration of both Italian and Albanian cultures, as well as a tribute to an era marked by Meloni’s leadership. Luca invites patrons to experience a blend of flavors and artistry that celebrates both the present and the past of Giorgia Meloni’s political journey.
In essence, Gjergj Luca’s latest project stands as a testament to the power of cross-cultural appreciation and the impact of individual contributions to international relations.
