 Ilo is said to have brought the Albanian flag to Albania in the Declaration of Independence in 1912, one of the versions of the non well-clarified origin of the Albanian flag of the 28 November 1912.The mostly accepted version so far is that the flag was embroidered by his relative Marigo Posio.In 1913, he returned to Romania and in 1916 emigrated to New York where he continued his patriotic work.
