What ever happened to The Pastry Section. Could do with The Pastry Section about now with my cappuccino

What people fail to realize is that Italy as a geographical entity was already established before Rome, and its inhabitants were called Italic people. In fact, Italic people lived in the area a long way before Rome, and they were actually also the people who first settled in the river Tevere and founded Rome itself. Rome was an Italic city which later was conquered by the Etrurians, then gained independence and proceeded to conquer the other Italic cities and peoples, including the Etrurians themselves. But even within the long domain of the Roman Empire Italy and Italic peoples were acknowledged and considered Rome’s associates and allies with Rome as a ruling power. So the concept of Italy and Italians (Italic back then) existed before Rome, throughout Rome and after Rome. There isn’t actually a time when Romans became Italians. Romans were born as inhabitants of an Italian city and were primarily Italian people

Uuuuuuuuuhh no, per nulla, che cazzo dici, che sono ste teorie stravaganti L'Italia come concetto geografico assume la forma attuale (isole escluse) solo durante il I secolo aC-I secolo dC, l'originale "Italia" era solo la punta meridionale della Calabria, abitata da un popolo che i Greci chiamavano Italoi. Non è mai esistito, prima della tarda Repubblica Romana, un concetto di un unico popolo italico, né di molteplici popoli italici uniti da un medesimo filone genetico. Il termine "italici" in questo contesto è riferito più ampiamente a tutti i popoli che abitavano la penisola al di fuori di Romani, Greci, Etruschi e Galli, ma non esiste un legame universale che collegava tutti quei popoli, i quali non erano nemmeno tutti di stirpe indoeuropea, e la cui cultura variava comunque in maniera notevole di area in area; nemmeno la classificazione di un ceppo "italico" regge più nella tradizionale divisione delle lingue indoeuropee, ed è stata superata da due differenti classificazioni, una osco-umbra e una latino-falisca, le quali non sono necessariamente più strette geneticamente tra di loro che con qualunque altro ramo della macrofamiglia indoeuropea. Per finire, di certo non si può dire nemmeno che sia esistito davvero un popolo italico nemmeno dopo l'unificazione romana: la decentralizzazione amministrativa dell'età tardoantica e la frammentazione politica altomedievale saranno il primo motore della nascita di singole identità locali che di certo non si vedevano come appartenenti a un unico popolo "italiano" (anche solo ipotizzando che queste identità davvero si identificassero poi in alcun modo, considerato che probabilmente il tipico contadino d'età medievale aveva ben altro a cui pensare). Durante il basso Medioevo, l'idea di una generica "italianità" (non necessariamente politica, e certamente non linguistica, ma quantomeno geografica e storico-culturale) comincia a diffondersi tra le élite intellettuali, e autori come Dante e Petrarca faranno spesso riferimento a questa percepita idea di una nazione italiana definitiva molto vagamente. Da questo certamente derivò nei secoli successivi l'idea di una élite intellettuale italiana. Ma l'idea di un popolo italiano, unito in lingua e cultura? Questa idea non avrà mai alcun significato effettivo almeno fino al XVIII secolo, quando i primi discorsi unitari cominciano a farsi strada nel discorso intellettuale dell'Illuminismo, e la Rivoluzione Francese, le Guerre Napoleoniche e la Restaurazione non fecero che alimentare sempre più l'idea di una comune identità italiana a cui la stragrande maggioranza degli italiani continuava comunque a non prendere parte, né vi avrebbe preso parte fino a dopo l'Unificazione, in un lento e faticoso processo di costruzione dell'identità che attraversò tantissime fasi (dalla scolarizzazione di massa alla Grande Guerra, dal fascismo al dopoguerra e il boom economico)

almost everyone who mentions this topic seems to either forget to mention or misreport the fact that the “italian” identity is not merely a modern idea - the Roman Empire saw Italia (which is, by the way, a latin word) as the fatherland and birthplace of the Empire. _Italia (the Latin and Italian name for the Italian Peninsula) was the homeland of the Romans and metropole of Rome's empire in classical antiquity. According to Roman mythology, Italy was the ancestral home promised by Jupiter to Aeneas of Troy and his descendants, who were the founders of Rome_ _As provinces were being established throughout the Mediterranean, Italy maintained a special status which made it Domina Provinciarum ("Ruler of the Provinces"), and - especially in relation to the first centuries of imperial stability - Rectrix Mundi ("governor of the world") and Omnium Terrarum Parens ("parent of all lands"). Such a status meant that, within Italy in times of peace, Roman magistrates also exercised the Imperium domi (police power) as an alternative to the Imperium militiae (military power). Italy's inhabitants had Latin Rights as well as religious and financial privileges._ as a final note piece, I’d also like to present to you a curious example of how even the Italian language - despite having had 2500 years of time to diverge from the frozen-in-time form of Classical Latin studied in textbooks - can give us clues on the real connection between these two cultural identities, when analysed in its historical vocabulary. From the New Englander and Yale Review, January 1843: _“The great etymological affinity between Italian and Latin, is illustrated by the following lines addressed to Venice, by a citizen of that republic before its fall, which read equally in both languages”:_ Te saluto, alma Dea, Dea generosa, O gloria nostra, O Veneta Regina! In procelloso turbine funesto Tu regnasti secura; mille membra Intrepida prostrasti in pugna acerba. Per te miser non fui, per te non gemo; Vivo in pace per te. Regna, O beata, Regna in prospera sorte, in alta pompa, In augusto splendore, in aurea sede. Tu serena, tu placida, tu pia, Tu benigna; tu salva, ama, conserva.

As the famous saying goes, on the dawn of Italian Unification, “We made Italy. Now we must make Italians” Italy and Italians have been a people long before the city state of Rome rose up. However, they fractured so much, within such a climatically diverse peninsula, that over a thousand+ years later they no longer felt a common identity. Even though they had always been geographically Italian.

When did the people in Italy stop calling themselves Roman and start calling themselves Italian? Between the years of 476 and 1861.

@@MajorMlgNoob Yeah. Before asking when Romans became Italians one should critically define what Roman and Italian even mean. Maybe then there wouldn't be reason to ask. Hint. Romans didn't become Italians. Rome was a multicultural empire with many ethnicities and languages. Official ones being Classical Latin and Koine Greek. Today's Italian language is one continuous evolution from local dialects of Vulgar Latin. It is amazing how effective the propaganda of Holy Romans (Germans) and the Pope has been. Think for example how many videos about the fall of Rome there are on youtube? All those videos that can't even agree on the date or the certain event that would quantify as such. Meanwhile any serious historian knows that the Roman Empire (Imperium Romanum) factually ended in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople and the last Roman emperor Constantine XI. Things are so messed up that if you google "the last roman emperor" google returns "Romulus" (some kid that wasn't even recognized by the ruling emperor Flavius Zeno) :)

In fact, one of the earliest events in the Roman Republic was a rebellion in which Italians demanded Roman citizens not just for the people in the region of the city of Rome, but for everyone in the peninsula, so there was already an identity there.

Bruh the Italian peninsula has always existed and the Romans called themselves Italics like all the inhabitants of Italy at the time. Even the writers of 1000-1500 years ago referred to themselves as Italians, because they lived in the Italian Peninsula and spoke ancient Italian which was initially the Florentine dialect derived directly from Latin. The united nation of today was born in 1861 when it was definitively reunified under the single name of Italy. But Italy and the Italic race like the Romans existed since before the Roman Empire, like the Greeks.

So, you’re telling me that Napoleon encouraged a sense of Italian-ness? “It’s always Napoleon…”

I know a guy who is 30 years old and says "don't call me Italian, I'm Sicilian. " so I think some of the people are still identifying by region of birth. Very interesting to me.

Yes but the peninsula was called Italia since pre-Roman times, the Romans spent a good deal of effort subjugating the other Italian peoples, and the idea that there was a territory called Italia and to some degree an understanding that even in the empire there could be Italians versus Syrians versus Africans and so on among the empire's population was present. So technically the Romans were a subset of Italians, absorbed all the other Italians, extended their name to a lot of non Italians, and then their empire collapsed and the people in Italian slowly started calling themselves Italians. Or even something more local. They didn't make the name up when Rome fell.

From Wikipedia Genetic history of Italy: Based on DNA analysis, there is evidence of ancient regional genetic substructure and continuity within modern Italy dating to the pre-Roman and early Roman periods. DNA analysis also demonstrates that ancient Greek colonization had a significant lasting effect on the local genetic landscape of Southern Italy and Sicily (Magna Graecia), with modern people from that region having significant Greek admixture. Latin samples from Rome in the Republican (early Roman) period, were generally found to genetically cluster closest to modern Northern and Central Italians (four out of six were closest to Northern and Central Italians, while the other two were closest to Southern Italians).

@@riccardopio294 Well, dividing the days of Roman expansion between pre-Augustus and post-Augustus is an anachronism, the "Roman Empire" can really be dated to well before the Social Wars, even before the Samnite Wars a few centuries earlier. IIRC the Romans started referring to the peninsula itself as "Italia" (rather than just the tiny southern region in Calabria) during the Samnite wars as they accrued more and more territory. It was specifically BECAUSE OF this expansion and specifically Roman re-purposing of the term that the 'socii' found it useful to use the term. But if you want to specify the empire as only coming into existence when Augustus came to power... well, it ignores actual history but it might be useful in an academic sense, kinda like calling the eastern Roman empire "the Byzantine Empire" even though no such thing existed until some historian invented the term centuries after its collapse.

Many Italians still refer to their region when they meet other Italians. For many Italian being Napolitan or Scillian and so on comes first.

For example the letter g in the world Famiglia is a tuscan thing, but the word isn't tuscan, it comes from latin familia. Same with figlio, from latin filius it became filio and then the tuscans added a g, but they didn't invent the word. In general the "gl"and "gn" are tuscan inventions, consilio=consiglio is a good example as well. Anyway italian is not tuscan, it just uses the tuscan grammar rules when it comes to pronunciation, coniugazione of verbs and stuff like that
