Abstract: (ENG) Documents speak of an Albanian presence on Romanian land no earlier than 1595, when a report sent to the imperial Councillor Pezzen, by his agent Giovanni de Marini Poli on 14/24 March, highlights the arrival in Cervenavoda of 15,000 Albanians and their families; they had asked for permission from the voivode Mihai Viteazu to settle down in Ţara Românească (Wallachia) and some 1,500 of them had joined his army. Yet, Albanians have arrived here in successive waves of immigration both before, and after, that date.
