In my post of October 13th I had mentioned the Arbëresh, the Albanian communities that settled in southern Italy and Sicily centuries ago.
For my friends who might be interested in learning more about this subject, I refer you to another blog entry, by ‘The Expresso Break’, which gives you a good background of this historic shift in the Albanian past.
Another interesting bit of input along this line comes from a 2006 entry in ‘Metafilter.com’ confirming what I had learned long ago: that the mother of the noted American TV personality Regis Philbin, originates from Arbëresh people.
