Lionel Messi

Historian Naim Flamuri stated that the paternal great-grandfather and maternal great-grandfather of footballer Lionel Messi are Arbërs from Gjirokastra. Flag said that they were known by the last name Meksi and that Messi's great-grandfather, Angelo, emigrated from Italy to Argentina in 1883. Meanwhile, about Messi's mother, some facts have been made public by a priest, that she is of Arberesian origin.

" Messi has mentioned that he may have an Albanian origin, in the book it is highlighted as an Albanian Albanian community in Italy. In the book published by Guillem Balague in 2013 and I took it as a reference in 2016, I translated it from the German. The family of Messi's father , Angelo Messi, emigrated in 1883 from Arbëresh to Argentina. Angelo Messi, on his father's side, came from the Meksi family originally from Gjirokastra, to emigrate to Italy.

The mother has been talked about for the last two weeks, the first time that the Italian-Arbëresh priest has appeared, testifying through church documents that he has as a priest. These are from the mother's side, we have from the father's side, which is Angelo Messi, the great-grandfather. The emigration documents are from the end of the 14th century, they are the first, second and third waves of emigration, especially after the death of Skenderbeu ", he emphasized in Euronews.

Historian Naim Flamuri says that footballer Lionel Messi is of Arbëresh origin and this is proven by documents. Flaguri said that many Arbëresh families emigrated from Italy to Argentina, and one of them was Messi's family.

Among other things, Flamuri stated that Messi himself has spoken about his origins. " We have in Argentina, don't forget, the largest group or the largest emigration of Italians, that is, from Italy who have migrated to Argentina, there are over 25 million, or 65% of the population of Argentina. Of the 45 million population that Argentina has, 25 million are Italians and many of them we also have members of the Orthodox Church in Argentina.

All these studies are well done, with arguments. We are not bragging about people who are our blood, why not tell them they are our blood because foreigners take it and make it their own. We have ours and leave it in oblivion. These are Stradiot families, Stradiot means knights, who came especially from Albania who were in the leadership of the Venetian army in the 14th and 15th centuries. Among them there are well-known families who emigrated from Italy and among them was the family of Messi, of we know it by the name Meksi. Now it has been talked about the origin of the mother, who is Albanian. " Messi has mentioned that he may be of Albanian origin, " he said.
