A waiter stands at the counter, as portrait paintings of Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni adorn the walls of "Trattoria Meloni" restaurant in Shengjin, some 60kms northwest of Tirana, on September 23, 2024. A stone's throw from an Albanian center housing migrants intercepted in Italian waters, the "Trattoria Meloni" restaurant has opened, where customers enjoy seafood under dozens of portraits of the Italian Prime Minister. Gjergj Luca, a 58-year-old eccentric entrepreneur, son of a Albanian famous actor, and a former actor himself, gave his Shengjin restaurant the name of Meloni, inspired by this politician whom he finds "extraordinary".
