ROME , VATICAN / June.18- Prime Minister’s wife Liri Berisha and the Deputy Foreign Minister Edith Harxhi during their visit in Rome gave a very rare and special gift to Pope Benedict XVI , Joseph Alois Ratzinger. The gift is a mosaic of the former Pope, John Paul II realized by the Cubi family. This family is Muslim but has done the art work to honor the memory of a great man like Karol Jozef Wojtyla, which has done very much for Albania as well. The aim of the visit to Italy of Liri Berisha is to create a museum in honor of Mother Teresa, which she calls “the altar of love for humanity.”
