HISTORY, CULTURE AND PEOPLE OF CALABRIA

Hi everyone, I'm Katharina, and with LeDueCalabrie, I want to show you what makes Calabria so special to me. I spent three months there on a sabbatical to get to know the region. I was deeply impressed by Calabria's eventful and partly unknown history, which, from ancient times to modern times, has left its mark on the dialect and traditions and has profoundly influenced the people. I would now like to write about it.

So follow me to learn about a piece of undiscovered Italy.

Bova-Il cuore della Calabria greca

Sul dialetto greco in Calabria avevamo già letto qualcosa prima del viaggio. Ma qui, a Bova – nel cuore della Calabria greca – diventa tutto reale. In questo piccolo paese si trova un museo davvero particolare, dedicato al Grecanico, il dialetto locale di origine greca. Un posto che invita a immergersi nella storia, nella lingua e nelle radici profonde di questa terra.
