He was for five years teacher of classics at the Jesuit college in Padua, and then went to Rome, where he completed his theological studies, was ordained priest, in 1722, and was again sent to Padua, to assist Father Filippo Riceputi in the latter's historical labours.

Written sources from ancient authors have it that western Balkan regions since ancient times were inhabited by the Illyrians, one of the largest people of the peninsula.
Their geographical position seems to have played a key role in their economic, social and political development for the mere reason that they were much close to the two greatest ancient civilisations — the Hellenic and Roman ones, and later the early Byzantine culture.
Southern Illyria was divided into four provinces: Preval (with Shkodër as its centre), Dardania (with Skoplje as its center), Nova Epirus (with Dyrrhachium as its centre) and Ancient Epirus (with Nicopoja as its centre).

 Sfakia People and the Dorians
The earliest known king of Illyria was Hyllus (The Star) who is recorded to have died in the year 1225 B.C. The Illyrians carried on commerce and warfare with their neighbors.
As the Dorians settled many areas of the Aegean, their way of rulership, was generally to merge with the indigenous people of their land, as seen with the invasion of Corinth, Rhodes and Argos.
Doric language was a dialect spoken in Ancient Greece, overshadowed during the Classical Age by other dialects such as Ionic-Attic, Aeolic, and Arcado Cypriot, the latter dominating Greek language from the 5th century BC onward.

 First Illyrian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Illyrian War began with Rome's concern with the trade routes running across the Adriatic Sea, especially after the First Punic War.
Many tribes of Illyria became united under one queen, Teuta.
Teuta responded negatively to the death of a Roman envoy, which prompted Rome to send the two consuls, Lucius Postumius Albinus and Gnaeus Fulvius Centumalus, and an army having been victorious in the First Punic War to rid the Adriatic Sea coastline of Teuta's subjects.
