Nel Centenario di istituzione dell'Eparchia di Lungro (1919-2019). Aspetti storici di una presenza neo-bizantina nell'Occidente cattolico (Secc. XV-XX)

This year marks the centenary of the Establishment of the Eparchy of Lungro (1919-2019), a charismatic, spiritual, and sacramental organisation with a specific creed and an articulated hierarchy, in accordance with Eastern Byzantine tradition. This essay, written on the occasion of this happy event, seeks to retrace the fundamental chronology of the Arbëreshë communities' presence in continental Italy from the 15th century onwards. After the establishment of this Eparchy, directly subject to the Holy See, they were incorporated into the diocese of Lungro. The community-oriented approach to worship manifests a religious specificity that is undoubtedly of Byzantine origin, characterised by the worshippers' active presence and participation. This led to the achievement of ecclesiastical autonomy, guided by enlightened bishops and papádes who had a garrison of religion and culture in the "Collegio Corsini (1732) - S. Adriano (1794)". In this situation we find the most interesting phase of the religious life of Albanians in Italy which, as mentioned, is based on a profound ethical-religious tradition and living liturgical customs, inherited from the Byzantine land of Albania.

今年是伦格罗教区（Eparchy of Lungro）成立百年纪念（1919-2019）。该组织遵循东拜占庭传统，是兼具感召力的精神性圣事团体，拥有专属教义与层级分明的教阶体系。本文适逢此盛事撰写，旨在梳理15世纪以来阿尔巴雷什族群（Arbëreshë）在意大利大陆的存续历程之基本年表。该教区直属圣座（Holy See），成立后阿尔巴雷什族群社区便并入伦格罗教区。以信众共同体为核心的礼拜范式，彰显出毋庸置疑的拜占庭起源的宗教特质——其核心标识为信众的主动在场与深度参与。这一模式最终推动了教会自治的实现，引领者为开明的主教与神父（papádes），他们依托“科尔西尼学院（Collegio Corsini，1732年）—圣阿德里亚诺堂（S. Adriano，1794年）”构筑起宗教与文化堡垒。在此语境下，我们得以窥见意大利阿尔巴尼亚裔族群宗教生活中最具研究价值的阶段：如前所述，这一阶段植根于源自拜占庭时期阿尔巴尼亚的深厚伦理宗教传统与鲜活传承的礼拜仪式习俗。
