Biography

He was born to a North Albanian Catholic family. He studied at a commercial secondary school in Wien from 1888 to 1890.[2] He got a job in Istanbul in the financial sector. There he was involved with the Albanian patriotic circles.[4] At the same time he wrote publications and he was the local representative of the French publishing house Liberté.[1]

Following the Independent Albania's declaration, in November 1912, he moved back to his original country. Together with Mehmet Konica, Sotir Kolea, and Rasih Dino he was the fourth member of the Albanian delegation at the singing of Treaty of London, which shows the end of the First Balkan War, returning to Albanian in August 1913 to report to the Provisional Government.[5] From 20 May to 3 September he was the Minister of Finance in Turhan Përmeti's Cabinet.[6] Aubrey Herbert who traveled with him described him as a "linguist and musician". At the outbreak of World War I he moved to Wien. He died during a trip to Dubrovnik.[1]
