\"Albania<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Albania Available for Rent<\/strong> is the response to the spirit that lives in the memory of things of the past. It is a personal journey to discover a recent past which even if geographically and temporally is so close, is still too hidden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you know about Albania?
Throughout all the second half of the twentieth century, the existence of this country was almost unheard of. The knowledge that ordinary people had of Albania was virtually not existent;in the collective imagination this country had almost disappeared, as it did not happen with any other European nation over-curtain.This is due to the absolute hermetic closure that has been subjected to decades by one of the fiercest and fierce dictators that contemporary history has ever known: Enver Hoxha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What really drove my attention into this subject was the main peculiarity of this historic case, the dark ability of Henver Hoxa, which at this time still survives, is that he has not left traces of himself in people’s memory. he managed to transform his country in to a black hole in the geographic map of europe. If today we ask to the average person, who where Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or where their regime had been, many will be able to give an exhaustive answer. But in very few would be able to answer the question “Who was Hoxha?\u201d. Yet his was the longest dictatorship in European history: forty years had been personally conducted, with a regime that altogether resisted for forty-six; that Albanian was the last communist communist totalitarian to fall into Europe, when the Berlin Wall had already collapsed, the Eastern Europe already unleashed by the Soviet yoke, the Uss dissolving, and the last great dictator, Ceausescu in Romania, had already been shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
