He was a printer and publisher of the first Greek newspaper entitled Ermis, in 1875, which was later renamed Pharos tis Macedonia. Michael Tositsas (or Tositzas or Dositzas) was born in 1787 in Metsovo and died in 1856 in Athens. In 1820 he went to Alexandria, Egypt, where he acquired a considerable fortune. During the Revolution of 1821, he purchased the freedom of many slaves. The Tositsa family comes from Metsovo and several of its members have been distinguished as national benefactors. The "BIT PAZAAR" bazaar has been operating since 1928 and is, together with the surrounding streets and sidewalks (mainly Tositsa and Garbola streets), a reference point of the city's history with nostalgic memories and an authentic atmosphere.
