Life

Martini was born in Shkodër, north Albania, then in the Ottoman Empire. He was a Roman Catholic. He took his first lessons from Kolë Idromeno in his home town at the School of Arts and Crafts.[2] From 1904 to 1907 he lived in Calabria, Italy based on a scholarship from the "Scuola Normale nel Collegio Italo-Albanese di San Demetrio Corone".[3] After that he studied at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He had to interrupt the studies because of financial issues, but kept working as a painter in the Pensi studio. In 1913 he started suffering from tuberculosis and died in 1916 in a sanatorium in Paris.[3][4]
