Brasini's master plan was later amended by Florestano di Fausto, and in 1939 by Gherardo Bosio following the Italian invasion of Albania.

The wide thoroughfare was initially named after King Zog,[1] and after the 1939 invasion was renamed Viale del Impero ("Avenue of the [Italian] Empire").

It then becomes part of Skanderbeg Square and continues north of the centre to Zogu I Boulevard.

During communism in Albania and in the 1990s, the boulevard served as an important social landmark where locals practiced the nightly stroll, also known as xhiro from Italian giro.
