Another similar case when territories are determined by the name of a human can only be in the case of America. But it is also true of our national hero, Gjergj Kastriot Skenderbeu, on this map of 1455, dedicated to Pope Nikola V, in which Balkan territory faces the Scarderbego balloning.
The discovery of this map was one of the most fortunate things that happened to me in my life. It's about a ballon in the heart of the southern Balkans where at the center of this space between the Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea is the Skenderbego” ballo, says Artan Shkreli, architect, researcher of Middle Ages mapping.

“Skenderbeu is depicted as a European hero here. Like he was an important European hero. And this map definitely cancels out efforts to say that Skenderbeu became a myth after his death. The entire enzyme of this figure made after death was much smaller than what he represented in his life”, says Artan Shkreli, architect, researcher of medieval cartography.
This map will remain exposed to the public for two weeks at COD in the prime minister. Then she will return to Rome's Central National Library, where she will be preserved on special shelves. /tch
