WE WENT TO GREECE WITHOUT LEAVING ITALY! | GALLICIANÒ, CALABRIA | ITALY TRAVEL GUIDE #5

Here we are visiting a town full of Greek speakers... in Italy! Join us as we explore the town of Gallicianò, a mountain town in the Calabria region where people have maintained the Greek language and traditions for centuries. We will talk with friendly locals, drink from a "love fountain," and even see an imprisoned chicken!
Hope you enjoy!

    9:43 the sign is bilingual, in Griko and modern Greek. The Griko up top is slightly different from the standard Greek in the bottop. So for example rocca is a word that only exists in Griko, the word you see below it, petra, is how we say it in modern Greek. And then similarly kiazza is from Italian piazza, the Greek word is platia. So there are some small differences in vocabulary.

    I hope that even if fewer and fewer young people from the village can speak Greek fluently and more and more young people leave the village, Greek culture and language will still survive in Gallicianò. 🇬🇷❤️🇮🇹

    Southern Calabria was largely Greek-speaking until the 13th century. Afterwards, under the pressure of the surrounding (Italo-)Romance-speaking culture of continental Italy and Sicily and the decadence of the Byzantine rite caused by the Catholic authorities, Greek was abandoned in favor of (Calabro-)Sicilian and later also Italian, resisting only in some villages in the mountains of the Aspromonte - such as in Gallicianò - until the 20th century due to isolation.

    They sound more like the ancient greek we did in school and less like modern greek. I would have to pay close attention to understand them. Sad to see this old dialect die out, from the unification's organic switch to italian, and mussolini's persecution of it, I guess it's only natural. At least our italian cousins didn't genocide/exile/convert them like turkey did. I want to do a road trip in south italy and sicily so badly :)

    They definitely consider themselves closer to ancient rather than modern Greeks. In fact, some of them who visited Greece said they were able to communicate but that the languages didn't match perfectly. Hopefully the work people are doing in places like Gallicianò, Bova, and other towns in the Calabria Grecanica, will serve to preserve the language and culture of this beautiful region. We hope you'll be able to have your road trip in Southern Italy. It's definitely a dream experience!

    It wasn't an organic switch at all, people from all of Italy, and especially the South (and to some extent the Veneto region too) still speak their regional dialect very much so, and italian was imposed on them even before Mussolini. It's very sad and Greek was actually more broadly spoken in Calabria and in Apulia too, there were even significant Orthodox communities that kept the language, the culture and the religion alive, but they were heavily persecuted the same way.

    When the Roman Empire went to Greece they absolutely loved everything they had. Ruins, food, wine, oil….. Everything. So they took the Greek architects, engineers and builders and developers they had and took them to build Italy as it is today. That is why they have ruins and statues and food almost the same. Greeks had gods, romans created their gods same. Greeks had foods Italians did the same. Oil is not the same because of soil and Greek oil is the best in the world. Southern Italy knows the truth and till this day they call it little Greece. Northern Italy doesn’t say nothing. Doesn’t matter. It shows and history is history. Thank you for the video. Amazing! Italy 🇮🇹 and Greece 🇬🇷 related.

    North Italians are genetically close to France Spanish swiss and very little to balkan (greek and other), so they are mix of Latin and German with little paleobalkan. Central Italians are genetically close to Greeks (to mainland greeks, almost all Greeks are mainland) and Albanians, so they are paleobalkan people (Greeks illyrians Thracians Dacians), south Italians are genetically close to Islander Greeks and to Jews. So as you can see the central Italians is Greeks genetically Paleobalkan People, they are closer to Greeks than the South Italians, but South Italians are close to islander Greeks

    @@nikostheofanidis9970 first of all. Greeks are more close to Spanish people. If you read history Greeks reached to so many countries and was a very large empire. Romans then had a very large empire too. When they went to Greece they saw everything they had and were admired. They took Greek mathematicians , architects, mechanics, philosophers, teachers, cooks, everything they had and told them to show them how to do what they knew. That is why many foods have similarities. Greeks were great sailors and reached to Spain . The similarities between the two countries is like brothers. Greeks are not Balkan and never were. Greeks are Greeks. Balkans are Albanians, Bulgarian, Skopje, Croatian, Montenegro …….. all places that was called Yugoslavia. Greeks thousands and thousands of years B.C. they were already a nation. So when Great Alexander who is Greek concurred so many countries reached till Africa and India Read history. For you to know Greeks were never and are not Balkan. Balkan are only the upper countries from Greece in the Former Yugoslavia.

    Siamo stati con la familiar 6 anni fa in Puglia per visitare i paesini grecani. Lì si parla il griko che è diverso dal dialetto greco in Calabria. Il griko si capisce bene se uno conosce l'italiano e il greco moderno. Nel paesino Kalimera c'è un museo piccolo dove il responsabile conosce il griko e ci ha parlato un po. Si prova di salvare il dialetto tranne i giovanni oggi. Vale la pena visitare Kalimera, Sternatia e altri paesini in Puglia.

    The Greek colonies were built all over the Mediterranean from the sixth century and they were autonomous cities. They feel proud as Greek because they're autonomous part of a single unic culture of Greek civilization not with modern meaning of the term "colony". Especially in Sicily the first colonies from greece, made they own colonies in south Italy. All these colonies, were totally independent with their own political and cultural basis and equal relation with mother cities in Greece and Italy. For example Archimedes was born in Syracuse.

Unfortunately only few people in southern Italy speaking the dialect have remained since the dialect is not protected by the law and not taught to younger generations🥲 Such a precious moment though to see how far our ancestors had come. I wish I’ll reach those villages someday and have the chance to talk to these people 🫶🏻 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
