Vuno
Vuno is a village in the municipality of Himarë, Vlorë County, Albania. It is situated along the road that connects the center of Himarë with the village of Dhërmi on the Albanian Riviera. The population of Vuno is exclusively composed of Orthodox Albanians.
The village's name derives from the Greek word Vouno (Greek: Βουνό), meaning 'mountain', reflecting its location on hills that rise to approximately 300 metres (980 ft).
In 1628, Neophytos Rodinos, a Catholic missionary, founded a school in Vuno with the aim of converting the Greek Orthodox population of Himarë to Catholicism. In 1632, an Albanian school was established in the village.
In 1720, the villages of Himarë, Palasë, Ilias, Vuno, Pilur, and Qeparo refused to submit to the Pasha of Delvinë.
According to Giuseppe Schirò, an Italian missionary who wrote in 1722, Vuno was inhabited by Albanians.
In 1873, a Greek school in Vuno had 80 pupils. Greek education expanded in the following years, and by the 1898–1899 school year, the village had three schools: a primary school, a secondary school, and a girls' school. Education was funded by various notable individuals and members of the diaspora from Vuno and neighboring settlements. These schools ceased operations in 1913.[citation needed]
Greek classes in Vuno were conducted in an imposing building. However, after the village was incorporated into the newly established Principality of Albania, state policy prohibited Greek-language education.
In November 1912, during the First Balkan War, Himara revolted under Spyros Spyromilios and expelled the Ottoman forces. On 6 November 1912, Vuno was captured by the Greek military under Stylianos Galeros.
