	Welcome to Frosina.org :: An Albanian Immigrant and Cultural Resource
		Voskopoja (Albania) was an important center that remains to this day as an abundant storehouse of art works by artists, both known and unknown.
		The German visitor stated that when he visited the church ofSaint Prodhon, he saw an amazing wood carving of major artistic value that was created by the Albanian artist, Theodhor Sina Grundo, who was not only a sculptor, but also a fresco painter and engraver.
		Because the German was in Voskopoja for only a brief period, it is understandable that he was unable to explore all of Grundo's works (see G.Vaigand-Dei arumunen-Leipsikg, 1895, pg 106).
