Girolamo de Rada (29 November 1814-28 February 1903), known in Albanian as Jeronim de Rada, was an Arbëreshë writer. Born in Macchia Albanese, Calabria, Two Sicilies (present-day Italy), he collected Albanian folklore material from a young age, publishing the first edition of his best-known poem "Songs of Miloslao" in Naples in 1836. He was persecuted by the Bourbon authorities for his role in the Italian Risorgimento, while he also supported the creation of an independent, federal state of Albania divided into three regions determined by both geography and religion. He opposed union with Greece, and he opposed the Greek and Serbian-backed insurrections against Ottoman rule, believing that the Ottomans would someday grant Albania its socio-political rights. He died in 1903.
