WE WENT TO GREECE WITHOUT LEAVING ITALY! | GALLICIANÒ, CALABRIA | ITALY TRAVEL GUIDE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- 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 were lucky enough to have a conversation with a lot of friendly locals to learn more about the history of Gallicianò. We also took a quick town tour with Mimmo, an incredibly knowledgeable guy who knows a lot about the region. You'll see a few highlights from his tour.
We also drank from a "love fountain" and saw an imprisoned chicken!
Hope you enjoy!

People in rural Greece and especially older generations are living the same life with the people of Calabria. Same traditions, same nature, food and faces looks alike. You can't distinguished em.
Absolutely. We've noticed a lot of these similarities you mentioned pretty much all over the Mediterranean
Una faccia una razza!
in calabria people don't eat tzatziki and tarama , they prefer pizza & pasta
And they cook better than any restaurant in Athens that's for sure
Same face same race

We really hope you'll be able to visit beautiful Gallicianò one day!
Wonderful!! I first heard about people in some parts of Italy still speaking Greek a few years ago. It’s amazing, people in Italy speaking Greek since the time of Magna Grecia. Thank you for this fantastic video. You have captured some real living history here!!!!
Thank you for your comment! Yes, it was truly an incredible experience to hear so many people speaking Greek in Italy... as their first language!
They speak e "mixed " words of modern greek and italian.50% of either language in every sentense....
Not even close to the "koine"...
Shouldnt they speak the old greek language instead of the modern greek language they speak for the claim they have of being decendants of "magna grecia" to have a base???
A NICE TURIST TRAP...

As a Cypriot I notice that Calabria's greci is more similar to Cyprus' greek dialect rather than Greece's modern greek. Fascinating!
ΕΙΜΑΣΤΕ ΟΛΟΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΕΣ 🇬🇷🇨🇾🇮🇹
To griko then exei tis turkikes lekseis!!!!!!!. Megali diafora!!.Greetings to Sypres
That's very interesting. Many people have mentioned the similarities with Cypriot Greek.
What I find also interesting is that both sides of my family are from the north coast of Sicily and I recently did my DNA test and other than mostly Southern Italian and some northern Italian, my third largest genetic marker is Cypriot.
The Greeks who lived in Southern Italy were Doric Spartan , the same goes for Cyprus. The Spartan dialect was very different to the Ionian or Aeolian Greek.
@@archon3363To add to that Koine Greek (Hellinistic era common language) was based on Ionian, then it evolved to medieval Greek and now to modern Greek. The other dialects pretty much died out. It's interesting to see about the Tsakonian dialect which is proven to be a descendant of Doric.

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.
Mussolini don’t arrived here…
I suggest to all visitors to take the chance to attend the Greek-Orthodox Holly Service in Sunday morning(10:30 winter/09:30summer)in Galiciano. This is a unique experience!
Great recommendation!
All Europe owes so much to Greeks and Romans.
I am not surprised at all Italy was from Naples (nea poli) to Sicilly Greek collonys made for Agriculture.... They are basically Greek.
The locals look very much like my father's origin in Lasithi (Eastern Crete Greece) and the landscape is pretty identical. Now I wanna visit this place so bad . Greetings to you fare thee well and take care on your travels .
Crete must also be a magical place to visit. We really hope you'll be able to travel to Gallicianò one day!
@TravelDialogues should you choose to do so I have a couple of airbnb options and I will be happy to host an Italian cousin
Great video! Really enjoyed wathing it. Treating people and culture with such politeness and care. It's sounds really close to cypriot. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
As a Greek I used to tell all my southern Italian friends about them being related to Greco people then Northern Italy. They all laughed at me- I love history and much love to the southern Italians and all Italians from Greece.
They laughed bucause true make people to laugh 😂😂

Strange. in Southern Italy we know perfectly well that we are descendants of the Greeks. in my town everything reminds of Greece. We even spell the city name in greek
As a Greek, this brought tears to my eyes, truly fascinating. I hope I get the chance to travel southern Italy at some point. Cheers!

Non "pos iste te" . é " Πως είστε" ... Pos iste 😊 che buon video!! Avete fatto buon lavoro!
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.
Magna Grecia 🇬🇷🇬🇷
This is a great story video. Thank you so much for sharing it.❤
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.
Thank you so much Sophia, we really appreciate the support!
@@TravelDialogues love your work. Real and genuine. Love.❤️
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.

Γειά σας Ελληνες, αδέρφια....
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.
Αυτά,γιατί δεν διδάσκονται στα ...ελληνικά ..σχολεία;;
its nice to see that greece and italy appreciate as our neighbours in Europe. Thats something that should always be the future of tomorrow.
Stay all safe in those hard times that will arrive every year.
GALLICIANÒ looks so peaceful!. Thanks for this video I enjoyed watching it.
Oh that's Greek alright, but based on a much older version. Fascinating... I should visit at some point.
I am sad the Greece and Italy did not support this part of history and dialect... it seems that this village has not a lot of people and life
They are the vibrant remnants of a great classical past that spoke Hellenic and worshipped Greek gods.

Why in every video related to greek culture there are some albanian revisionists? They must have serious complexes with Greece...
😊😊
not at all, it is strange for us to see a "culture" or a nation that does not have traditional clothing like this in this country, it seems as if it has no identity, these are simply Roman (Romano-Byzantine remains), and where do they keep the flags? , like a rag on the balcony,, whereas the Albanians in Italy for more than 600 years have not lost their language (so we still understand them clearly) nor their traditional clothing and they keep their flags regularly and proudly
@@arijanmavriqi5520 yeah your comment just proved my whole point. And why are you in a greek related video? Exactly...
and in addition to this, I also confirmed that you are very wise, yeah? you enter in the Albanian videos and pages and so we at yours, we are simply curious people, if you know what thet means, while in your case as a neighbor we have enough curiosity because in the last centuries (befor 18 cent) of our "neighborhood" you were completely invisible among us.
i don't see the opposite happening, for example I am not interested for albaniancentric videos, while you are. And it's not curiosity, comments are always offensive for some reason, either outright or by a historical completely inaccurate revisionist context. It's pure hate and you are no different so I am not interested keep talking to you. Proving my point in every word is all you can offer to me. Bye!
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. 🇬🇷❤️🇮🇹
The language is called Grekanika which is a mixture of Greek and Italian. It's beautiful. There are many beautiful songs like "kalinifta" or "klama tou emigrantou : Κλάμα του Εμιγκράντου. Thanks for the video. Great job.
10:00 this sign has 3 languages on it, ancient Greek, Griko (Italiot Greek) and Italian. And it says "The Macedonian people, who are Greek, send greetings to the Italian brothers"

You have tempest in your head.
You don't know anything
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.
The greek colonies were all over the black sea, in Caucasus especially. And Greeks go even in Ireland England and Sweden, you can search for this
The Greek came from afrika look skinny colour the are lik India. . Orr check in Google for the black Greek
@@GegToskCope Albanians Never Had History And Never Will
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.
Veramente molto interessante! Abbiamo aggiunto questi paesi alla nostra lista. Magari possiamo visitarli per uno dei prossimi video dall'Italia!
Sicilian and Calabrian have many Greek influences! You can say! The origin of the south of Italy came from Greek origins
Can't get enough of these Greek communities and speakers of Italy. Amazing.
Kαλησπέρα απο Αθήνα !!!
Great video ! Love to see how they kept speaking the Greek language after all those years !
Thank you for this. Much love from 🇩🇰
Thank you so much for watching. More to come!
Bell posto
Davvero meraviglioso. Da visitare!
Some day I hope to visit, living on the island of Crete so a short flight to Napoli and a long drive down to view the wonders of Greece. From my studies the residents of these southern Italian cities mostly came from seafaring families of the Aegean Islands.
The reason they still speak greek is also largely part to the Greek era of the Roman Empire, aka the more modern term but not historical "Byzantine Empire"
I would like to say that the reason they still speak greek is almost solely because of the fact that south Italy was part of the "Byzantine Empire" until 1077 with the fall of Bari to the Normans. Unluckily the ordinary italian people does not anything about the history of the "Byzantine" Empire in Italy and especially in the south so they link it to the ancient "Magna Grecia".
@@gionni4746 Italy, towed by the Catholic Church, has done much to suppress that part of history. However, due internet providing free flow of information, more and more people are becoming aware of Byzantines (Roman/ERE) 1000+ year history. One of may examples is if you were to ask a 100 random people who were the ones responsible for the new testament, and the Nicean Creed they would not say Greek Orthodox, most likely they'd say Catholic and the Pope doesn't want that to change. Of all the descendants of old civilizations, i believe Italians are most ignorant of their own history, again due to it being strategically suppressed, unfortunately. They have many misconceptions of the Roman empire, but then again so does the majority of the world, and not by accident. Including Greeks born outside of Greece, their extent of Greek history begins and ends in antiquity. They have no idea that the Roman Empire was of two people, Latin and Greek. Fun fact, you can only swear to the Emperor in 1 of 2 languages, Greek, or Latin. When these two people united, they did incredible things. To this day no matter what either side believes, are united by not only history, but of blood and legacy.
GOOD VINTEO VERY NICE BRAVO
Thank you so much!
I wold say separately thanks , for the translate text in English . I know , it takes lot of time! Trying to understand Italian too❤
Thank you for watching! We're happy to work on the subtitles. It's a lot of work but it makes the video accessible to so many more people. More videos from Italy coming in the future!
As a Turk, I have no idea what I'm doing here but this video goes good with munchies. I elinika mou zhen ina kalo :P and hopefully this summer I will visit Italy. I'm craving for Mediterranean climate for a long time since I moved to Baltics :D
That's interesting. Southern Italian is very different from Central and Northern Italy, more in common with other southern Mediterranean old cultures eg Greek etc. in Northern Italy many also speak German, French etc. Northern and Central dialects soundore like more northern or Slavonic languages. And the people look different, too. More blondes, redheads etc. pale Celtic skin, blue/green eyes, like Irish Celts but with dark hair. Not so olive skinned as in the south.
Even in southern Italy you can meet light-colored people with light-colored eyes, because there were also Norman and Germanic dominations, the Greeks themselves are not olive-skinned, often in southern Italy people are darker because they are tanned, not because they are all olive-skinned, these are places common.
So beautiful!

It's close enough but the accurate greek is not "istete"... It's "πως είσαστε;" (pos isaste) or "Πως είστε" (pos iste) which is the short version of the same verb! So nice to hear people out of Greece speaking Greek though!! Not to mention that views and scenery is almost identical to Peloponise! Very similar vibes!
It's not supposed to be nowadays Greek. It comes from either Hellenic Greek or Byzantine Greek so the language is not the same as nowadays Greek from Greece, cause while they come from the same root they morphed

The Arbëreshë (pronounced [aɾbəˈɾɛʃ]; Albanian: Arbëreshët e Italisë; Italian: Albanesi d'Italia), also known as Albanians of Italy or Italo-Albanians, are an Albanian ethnolinguistic group minority historically settled in Southern and Insular Italy (in the regions of Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Campania, Molise, mostly concentrated in the region of Calabria and Sicily)
They are the descendants of Albanian refugees settled in the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily who fled from Albania, Epirus, and later some from the numerous Albanian communities of Attica and Morea, between the 14th and the 18th centuries following the death of the national hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg and the gradual conquest of the Balkans by the Ottoman Turks. Their culture is determined by the main features that are found in language, religious rite, traditional costume, art and gastronomy, still zealously preserved, with the awareness of belonging to a specific ethnic group
Over the centuries, the Arbëreshë have managed to maintain and develop their identities, thanks to their cultural value exercised mainly by the religious communities of the Byzantine Rite
Nowadays, most of the fifty Arbëreshë communities are adherents to the Italo-Albanian Church, an Eastern Catholic Church. They belong to two eparchies, the Lungro, for the Arbëreshë of Continental Italy, the Piana degli Albanesi, for the Arbëreshë of Sicily, and the Monastery of Grottaferrata of Lazio, whose Basilian monks come largely from the Albanian settlements of Italy. The church is the most important organization for maintaining the characteristic religious, ethnic, linguistic and traditional identity of the Arbëreshë community
The Arbëreshë speak Arbërisht, an old variant of the Albanian language and derives from the Tosk Albanian spoken in central-southern Albania and Epirus
In Italy the Albanian Arbëresh language is protected by law number 482/99, concerning the protection of the historic linguistic minorities
@@armandalikajthe arvanites that came there basically were of greek conscience THEY SPOKE GREEK READ GREEK AND THEIR TRANSUCTIONS WERE IN GREEK
HOW they become albanized its a Papal elaboration and Mussolinis efforts
La piana dei Greci diventa piana albanezi thanks to the mussolinis regime
Thank you very much for this tour.
We're really glad you enjoyed it! Much love!
What a great video and story. With every visit to Italy, I find so many more reasons to return and explore more. Gallicianò just made the list. There is no end to the gems. Mille grazie!!
❤🇮🇹🙏
Joe! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. We hope you'll visit Gallicianò soon. You'll definitely love it!
There is a region in Italy they speak Albanian too, i think it is also in Calabria.
Magna Grecia ❤️🇬🇷
sei sicuro che non fossero albanesi?
😂😂😂 if they was Albanese it would be zarben
Kinda different compared to Greek, "Pos iste te" the "te" in the end it means nothing. "Pos iste" (Πως είστε;) is the correct question when you want to ask in a polite way how are you on an elder person or a person you are showing you respect. "Pigi tis agapi" - "agapi" (αγάπη) needs and "s" (agapis) in the end, (agapi = love , tis agapis = of love) I guess this is a dialect that changed with the years. Nice video!
It's from "Pos isaste" and he just pronouns it as "Pos iste te"
It’s Ancient Greek obviously. We as Greeks should be talking as they talk in Calabria
@@Stevo-klo45453 Not ancient Greek mate. They just use different pronunciation.

Se questa lingua si usa in grecia dal 1821 circa ,una domanda mi viene, ma questa gente sono in Italia dopo 1821 in che anno sono arrivati?😅
Μπραβο παιδιά
ευχαριστώ! We hope that's the right way to write it!

@@TravelDialogues yeap thats correct
è un peccato che questi antichi borghi italiani stanno scomparendo. Succede anche al nord, nelle comunità montane.
Spesso diventano luoghi di seconde case per i week end, ma questo fa scomparire il senso di comunità e l'apertura che i residenti avevano verso i vicini
Scicily was a greek colony and your see greek writing all over the place there too
True! Some of the best kept Greek colonies are in Sicily
Southeast Sicily. The rest of it was mostly Phoenician.
Brutta gente
Really it is such a beautiful culture and its so sad to see that in Italy this type of lifestyle is completely dying out
In Greece we have the equivalent of this, the Aramanites and Vlach dialects which come from the Latin Language!
That's actually very interesting to know. Who knows, maybe that can be a video idea in the future...
It's not the same. The Vlachs are not...Italians. They are reeks and themselves will tell you this. So don;t confuse things
You probably mean Arvanites of Christian Albanians ancestry (not Latin) and Vlachs of Romanian ancestry (Latin).
@@perseusarkouda Arvanites are Greeks, orginally from the (ancient) city of Arvanon, hence Arvanites, in Northern Epirous. They are not ALbnians as many think. They spoke arvanitika because of where they came from. Just like me, from the USA. But idiots and ignoramuses interpret their diglossia as being Albanians! And this bullshit has been propagated in Greece by Greeks! How stupid can they be? Well, stupid ebough to sell their country's ασημικά to foreigners for 99 years!
@@perseusarkoudavlachas such have nothing to do either with albanians or Romanians ancestry
