Blendi Gonxhja, Minister of Economy, Culture, and Innovation, welcomed former President Alfred Moisiu in a meeting to discuss initiatives in honor of their shared family heritage, particularly in recognition of the legendary actor Aleksandër Moisiu.

The two discussed plans for a series of events and publications marking the 145th anniversary of Aleksandër Moisiu’s birth.

“One of the highlights of our conversation was the commitment to establishing a museum in Kavajë, his hometown, that will honor the artistic legacy of this illustrious figure,” Gonxhja stated.

The Minister underscored that “this initiative will safeguard our cultural heritage and provide future generations the opportunity to appreciate the life and work of Aleksandër Moisiu, ensuring his legacy endures in our national history.”

Aleksandër Moisiu, the distinguished Albanian-born actor, was born on April 2, 1879, in Trieste.

His career flourished on Austrian stages, where he excelled in diverse roles, from ancient Greek tragedies to contemporary European drama. Moisiu’s journey began at age 19 as a minor actor at the Burgtheater, before gaining fame in the theaters of Prague and Berlin, where his extraordinary talent shone in iconic roles such as Oedipus Rex and Hamlet.
