In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, one of the main personalities of our national culture, Theofan Stilian Noli, known as Fan Noli, passed away. He was born in the village of Qyteza in Edirne, inhabited by Albanians. From his youth, he became a prominent thinker and activist for the National Renaissance. There are no areas in our life where he has not left his mark or served as an “Icon of the Nation”. He has been first and unattainable in religion and belief, in literature and translation, in music and politics, in criticism and oratory. Although he spent most of his life in exile, far from his homeland, no one did more than him for Albania, no one gave more to the Albanian culture and tradition. The legacy he left to future generations is not measured in money because he lived and died poor, but it made Noli a monument, immortalized him, and secured his deserved place in the Albanian Pantheon.
