Pietro Marubbi opened a photographic studio in Shkodër in 1858 and his family kept it running for a century. What survives is around 500,000 negatives on glass, roll and plan film by fifteen photographers, highland chiefs in full dress, weddings, executions, ordinary shopkeepers, the Rilindja generation.
