Larissa Quaroni Cegodaeff – wife of the young diplomat Pietro Quaroni – spent almost four years between 1928 and 1931 in Albania during the diplomatic mission of her husband. In this time, Miss Quaroni Cegodaeff made a big number of photographic reports. Although they were pictures destined to private use, they represent an exceptional historical proof of the Albania of those years; such photos portray the life of the country whit its backwardness and with the first strides towards modernity.
