Unfortunately, there is no one left alive in this world, the last one to leave was our actor Alberti. According to his testimony, the Verria tribe and two or three others are the creators of the city of Fier. They took cattle and used the abundant pasture that was in Myzeqe. This tribe is now located in Tirana, while Alberti himself lived in Vlora.
