Mezzoiuso. 43 The first Arberesh settlements in Italy were founded around 1448. In his study of Albanians in Southern Italy Francesco Giunta, found that in a short amount of time the Arberesh, were well adjusted in the Italian society and this allowed for future Albanian migrations to Italy. 44 The relationship between Albania and the Neapolitan kingdom continued to flourish when Scanderbeg, took control of Albania. Alphonso V along with the Papal state were among his greatest supporters in his fight against the Ottomans. Among the Albanians who had fought along side Dimetrio Reres in Napoli was also Scanderbeg’s best commander Count Vrana Altisferi, who often served as a diplomatic envoy between Scanderbeg and Alphonse. On March 26 ,1451 Scanderbeg and Alphonse concluded a treaty between Albania and the Kingdom of Napoli. Under this treaty Scanderbeg’s family and many members of the Albanian nobility were placed under the guardianship of Alphonse, who reserved the right to grant them any fiefdom he pleased. 45 The second emigration of Albanians into Southern Italy occurred from 1460- 1462, where they were invited at the request of king Ferrante I. After king Alphonso V died, King Ferrante I, who was Alphonso’s illegitimate son, inherited the crown. 43 Ibid., 64; and also see, Luigi De Rosa, “The Balkan Minorities (Slavs and Albanians) in South Italy,” in The Journal of European Economic History 29: 2-3 (Fall/Winter,2000):252. 1947):48-49. 44 Francisco Giunta, “Colonie Albanesi in Sicilia,” in Economia e Storia, 21: 1(1974): 16-17. 45 Fan Noli, George Castrioti Scanderbeg, (New York: International Universities Press, 20
The Anjous renewed their claims to the kingdom and Ferrante called on Scanderbeg to help him fend the Anjou’s off. In 1460 Scanderbeg, was tied with the war effort in Albania, but he sent to Ferrante troops under the command of his nephew John Stressi Balsha. 46 In this war, Ferrante of Aragon, did not have very many advantages. Not only was he an illegitimate son, but almost all of his barons had sided with the Anjous. This was clearly evidenced in the correspondence of the Prince of Taranto, Giovanni Antonio Orsino, and Scanderbeg. 47 Despite Orsino’s efforts to dissuade George Castriota from aiding Ferrante, Scanderbeg came to Ferrante’s aid when the king of Napoli needed him the most. Ferrante was besieged at Barletta, by Giacommo Piccinino, one of the most known commanders of his time, and Jean D’Anjou, the duke of Calabria; the main contender for the throne. Together they had managed to confine Ferrante to Napoli, Trani and Barletta. According to Vincenzo Dorsa, upon arrival Scanderbeg and his troops defeated Piccinino and the siege of Barletta was 46 Ibid., 57.

Al presente simo advisati voi havere mandato de le vostre gente da pede et al cavalo in Puglia et quelle discorrere at damnificare le terre de la Maesta de Re Ranieri e nostre, de la qual cosa ne meravigliamo perchè de la prefata Maestà ne da noj non receveste mai iniuria nè, despiacere alcuno. Anco ne possete sperare più beneficio et piacere che non recevesti mai dal Re de Ragona per memoria del quale dicite movervi a fare quello facite: perchè dovete essere certo che sono più catholici christiani li Regali de Franza che altri principi del mondo, et dovete pensare che essendo gia quasi tucti li principi et populi del Reame tornati a la fidelità de questo Signore che voi non bastati con Albanesi ad aiutare don Ferrando ne manco offendere tanti possenti inimici come luj teme, et per tanto ve pregamo et exortamo vogliate desistere dali proposti vostri et per la bona via revocare le vostre gente…” 21
