Summary/Abstract: It is written a lot about the arberesh of Italy, how and when they emigrated as well for their settlements . Also for their ethnic resistance and ethno-culture. It is pointed out the emigration of the arberesh who, after the death of Scanderbeg, went away to save themselves from the massacres of the occupier, from the violence and uncertainty. In the treatment of these problemes there were one-sidedness and shortages. It was not seen in breadth and the economic and social connection between the two opposite coasts of the Adriatic and Jonian seas, in the course of the centuries, before and after the epoch of Scanderbeg. In truth, in the time of the Ottoman occupation, in the XV-th century, there was an unusual invasion of the arberor population to Italy and Greece. But it should be elucidated that even in this time, in many cases, the migration movements have not been simply of a political character, but incited by different circumstances: social, economic and of the moment. Thus, the causes are complex and, among them, even those of the occupation.
