Luigi Ugolini Admits that Epirus is Greek
Luigi Maria Ugolini was an Italian agent of the Italian Fascist Government who headed the Italian Fascist government excavation to Butrint in the late ’20s.
His real last name was Fabbri, and he hid his identity.
Luigi Maria Ugolini was not an archeologist. He studied literature. Below is the graduation diploma in Literature at the University of Bologna. He was an agent of the Italian state in Albania.
Ugolini shows the Greek ruins at Finiqi/ Φοινίκη Delvino.
Ugolini writes that Pyrrhus was King of Epirus and related to the family of Achilles. Then he goes on to say, that “Albanians consider Pyrrhus as their national hero”. Ugolini also says that all the cities on the coast of Illyria were Greek cities.
Luigi Ugolini was a fascist and worked for the fascist state of Italy
In the article Archeologia e fascismo negli archivi di Luigi Maria Ugolini (Archeology and Fascism in the archives of Ugolini) there is plenty of evidence that he was falsely promoting the Illyrian myth because Albania was under the Italian protectorate. The Italian intention was to lie that Illyrians stretched far, all the way to Butrint.
The article says that Ugolini thus became part of that "political archeology” which, during the twenty-year period, supported Italian expansion in the Mediterranean..."
Ugolini admits that the language of the cities in Epirus is Doric Greek, although in other pages he goes on to say that Greeks colonized the Illyrian cities which was a lie.
Dea of Butrintos was given to Italians by the self-proclaimed Albanian King Zog. Italians advertised the Dea in their country for many years and had many exhibitions as if it was their own property. Italians themselves admit that Dea was left in a pitiful condition after it was stolen and it was abandoned.
