My grandfather and his parents and siblings emigrated to the U.S. from Montecilfone in the Compobasso provence. There were several other families from that area who lived in the same Italian neighborhood in North Philadelphia. I still remember my great grandmother speaking the Albanian dialect, Italian and English in the same sentence

A few years ago, I was at the Italian Market in South Philly. There was an old lady with her son and daughter-in-law; the lady said in Arberesh; tell the butcher to cut the meat into pieces... so I talked to them in Albanian and they responded back in Albanian/Arberesh. The lady said, Arberesh was her first language, Italian her second, and English was her third language. She said she was happy she lived this long to teach her grandkids Arberesh; they don't use it that much, but they know it and are very proud of their Italo-Albanian origin. Another story - I was visiting my cousin, when his Irish-Italian neighbor came over chatted, and said; hey do you know I am Albanian. He had done his DNA and one of his grandparents originating from south Italy was Arberesh, 25% Albanian. He said as soon as he knew his DNA results, he went to a store where an Albanian girl works to tell her that he is Albanian too. We were drinking beer, but he said let's have a Raki now, and so we did. Robert De Niro said on an Italian TV hat he has Italian Sicilian and Albanian blood.

@@antoniotoninno What's bs? The fact that you are Greek in italy, or the story I told here? Greeks have been in south Italy before Albanians went there. Greeks were in Magna Grecia since ancient Rome; Albanians are there from the late 15th century when Ottomans occupied Albania.

Albanians!

Well as you can notice arbereshi people still remember with pride our national commander Gjerg Kastrioti (Scanderbeg),after deliberetly loosing the war with hungarians at Naissus (town of Nish) with his 300 loyal solders He went to Kruja in central Albania to take over the inherited land of his father at the Casslte of Kruja in Central Albania.As you can see He did not go to Serbia or Greece but He went to his fathers homeland at that time called Arberia.

We love Arberesh and Grico people.
