Paramithiotti was born in
Venice,
Italy, into a wealthy family of
Cham Albanian origins. In the 18th century, his ancestors left Albania, which was part of the
Ottoman Empire at that time, by joining the
Albanian diaspora for better life opportunities. They moved away from
Yanina Sanjak, in the region of
Epirus, precisely from the current area of
Paramythia, and preserved their origin as being from Paramythia with the surname Paramithiotti. They moved to Venice, Italy, where he was born. He was one of the founders of Inter Milan in 1908 after they severed ties with
AC Milan According to the chronicles of the time, Paramithiotti was not particularly liked by the supporters due to his reputation as a jinx, which forced him not to show up at the stadium. However, one day, he was not recognised because he was watching the match with a fake beard and moustache, and as Inter won the match, his bad reputation was put to an end. In 1909, after one year, he was succeeded by
Ettore Strauss in his place, following the wishes of the
Swiss majority of the club's members. He died in
New York City on 11 March 1943. == References ==
