QSPA: Pal Parrino, teacher of the bright figures of Arbëresh culture

The arborist Paul Maria Parrino was born in 1710 at Palazzo Adriano in Sicily. The Center for Studies and Publications for Arbëresh, on the occasion of the 258th anniversary of his death, remembered the researcher a few days ago. "Pal Maria Parrino was a researcher of several disciplines in the humanities, and is known as the founder of the Illyrian-Albanian romantic ideology. He has been the teacher of many bright figures of Arbëresh culture, as well as held the position of Rector of the Albanian Seminary of Palermo. He passed away in 1765", says QSPA, which published on its website an article by Arberi professor Matteo Mandala about Arberi literature and culture, where special attention is paid to the figure of Pal Maria Parrino.
