In the book “Das tagebuch des polizeiministers Kempen von 1848 bis 1859” by freiherr Johann Franz Kempen von Fichtenstamm, published 1931, covering the years of 1848-1859, we can read of the Catholic Albanian church bell of Susanni (sometimes called Shushan, Shushanj, Sussanj or Šušanj).

Cited:

“November 28th. The Jesuit priest Max Klinkowström visited me and declared the spread and tendencies of the Jews to be alarming, and even more so the quiet influence of the Freemasons, who seek to level everything in their brotherhood. I inspected a beautiful bell I had commissioned for the Albanian Catholic Church in Šušanj, Archdiocese of Antivari, at the bell founder Freisinger’s workshop. It bears the image of Saint Veneranda as its patron saint. Minister Count Thun visited me and asked me to protect Ruben, the director of the Art Association, who was being subjected to defamation in the press, against anonymous attacks. Given our press laws, this is no easy task.”
