Abstract

In the 1920s, Italy aimed to control Albanian oil through A.I.P.A., established in 1925 after an Italo-Albanian agreement. Despite early inefficiencies, a 1933 law funded a pipeline from Devoli to the port of Valona. This infrastructure reshaped southern Albania, integrating isolated areas and fostering urban centers like Kuçovë. The study analyzes how these imperialist-driven devel- opments transformed the Albanian territory and urban landscape.
