Zef Serembe

Zef Serembe, Giuseppe in Italian, was born on 6 March 1844 in San Cosmo Albanese, an Arbëresh village in Calabria, into a peasant family that the Bourbons pursued for its revolutionary ideas. A pupil, then a friend, of Jeronim de Rada at the college of San Demetrio Corone, then a hotbed of young revolutionaries, he had to interrupt his studies for lack of money. An unhappy love and illness marked his life; he also wrote in Italian. His restless life took him across Italy, France and the Americas, and he died in Brazil, in São Paulo, on 31 December 1901.
