Periskopi(5 years ago)
(5 years ago)In 1997 when Albanians dreamed of Italy, microbiologist and virologist Natale Capodicasa comes to Albania never to leave again. It was the profession that brought to Albania, and kept love forever. In 1999 he fell in love with Diane, three children came into existence from this marriage. Capodicas: First I came from [...]
Capodicas: I first came professionally and curiously to do a job outside Italy. I didn't know exactly what the situation was like in Albania in 1997, I saw war from the news. Although I found myself well.
Question: What did you come by, and what did Albania look like?
Capodicas: I came by ship. I remember something very beautiful. Two Italian teams played football, and fans of Albanians shouted and typhooned like in Italians. It was beautiful.
Question: How do you view Albania today after 24 years?
Capodicas: They've changed a lot to the sights and the streets. In 1997 the lights were gone in four days. It was horrible. It melted my meat in the fridge. I had nothing to wear. Albania has changed. But attention should be on young people. It takes a faster change in youth. A doctor, nurse is about to finish her studies, or financially, more patience is needed.
Question: Have you ever thought about leaving Albania?
Capodicas: No, I've never raised my job here and my family. 100% I'm Albanian, 100% Italian.
