Oral Traditions of Italo-Albanian Communities in Sicily and Calabria1 Oliver Gerlach Abstract: The main difference with respect to the Balkans is that Italo-Greek as well as Arbëresh communities had been rural throughout the centuries. Hence, the community itself did the job of the choir during Orthodox celebrations, which became only possible in certain communities belonging to two Archdioceses of the Byzantine rite: Lungro in Calabria and Piana degli Albanesi on Sicily. Within the catholic church they were allowed to celebrate the Greek rite, but this became possible due to a new law in church administration which existed since the 18th century. The question if there did really exist a continuous oral transmission since the arrival of Albanian emigrants during the last decades of the 15th century, and in as far they adapted to local customs of the Italo-Byzantine tradition which had survived around the Archimandritates in Italy, has not been an issue of historical research yet.

  • Damage Assessment of Historical Masonry Churches Subjected to Moderate Intensity Seismic Shaking
    sustainability Article Damage Assessment of Historical Masonry Churches Subjected to Moderate Intensity Seismic Shaking Nicola Ruggieri Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Province of Cosenza, Piazza dei Valdesi, 13, 87100 Cosenza, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 MW struck Cosenza (Calabria region, South Italy) and its immediate area on 24 February 2020. Although no damage was reported to ordinary masonry buildings, the ancient masonry churches suffered widespread damage. The herein article presents an analysis of the failures suffered by monumental buildings (e.g., churches) following a moderate seismic action. The contribution is based on the in situ damage observation of 14 churches, with a dating ranging from the 12th to 20th century. The study consists of a first phase, in which the different damage modes are identified, describing their causes and effects, and a second phase that correlates the damage detected to the main parameters that influence the seismic response of the churches (geometric characteristics, boundary condition, masonry and floor organization, past interventions, etc.), regardless of the state of conservation that was discrete for all buildings before the telluric event. From the rapid visual survey, the “weight” of each seismic parameter on the type of damage detected was then established. The past “retrofitting” interventions were decisive in the response of the ancient structure, with particular regard to those that made an aggravation of seismic mass and an increase in stiffness. Keywords: 24 February 2020 Cosenza earthquake; masonry monumental building; light intensity Citation: Ruggieri, N. Damage seismic shaking; seismic damage assessment; rapid visual survey procedure Assessment of Historical Masonry Churches Subjected to Moderate Intensity Seismic Shaking.

Protopisani, 80146, Naples, Italy *Corresponding author. [email protected] Abstract Here we report recent evidence of the presence of Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) in the Mercure-Lao River valley, an area of great ecological interest situated in South Italy for which the last otter reports referred to spraints collected in 2002. This work contains information and a selection of photographs of otter footprints and spraints found from October 2005 to January 2019, and photographs of both a cub and an adult otter from the Mercure-Lao River area. Keywords: Eurasian otter; Lutra lutra; Italian population; Mercure-Lao River INTRODUCTION The population of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) in Italy is less than 300 adult individuals (Prigioni et al., 2006) occurring in the Southern part, mainly Basilicata, Calabria, Campania and Puglia regions. Here a larger population exists, while a smaller number is found in the Abruzzo and Molise regions (Balestrieri et al., 2016). Recent records of otters in Northern Italy (Balestrieri et al., 2016) were attributed to individuals probably originating from Austria and Slovenia. This is of great interest from the point of view of a possibile otter recolonisation there.

  • Language Education for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Italy: Provision and Governance
    Language Education for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Italy: Provision and Governance Donatella Loprieno, Anna Elia & Claudio Di Maio University of Calabria Executive Summary 1. In Italy, the acquisition of the Italian language is considered a fundamental step to guarantee access to the territory for a period of more than one year and the beginning of the integration process; 2. The teaching of the Italian language is entrusted to two channels: from the government side, it is provided by the Provincial Centres for Adult Education (CPIA); these courses are supported by additional hours within the SPRAR system and in some CAS centres, for refugees who are part of an integrated reception project; 3. The Provincial Centres for Adult Education (CPIA) are a type of autonomous teaching institution, with a specific didactic and organizational structure, divided into territorial service networks, usually on a provincial basis. They provide training for adults and young adults, of any gender or nationality, who have not completed compulsory education or have not obtained a final qualification of any level; 4. The Italian language courses within the SPRAR system are autonomously managed, responding to the needs of the migrants, by increasing the number of hours provided and ensuring continuity of learning during the summer period; 5. With regard to CAS centres, where possible, specific local projects are envisaged but not on a national basis, as with the SPRAR system; 6. The SPRAR and CAS network may implement protocols of intent with a CPIA for the enforcement of the education rights of refugees. These organizations contribute to refugees’ enrolment in the school system, and the accompaniment of migrants in obtaining a diploma or university registration; 7.

In Europe, there are many other linguistic minorities, originated by whole communities, that migrated to new countries and brought with them not only their language, but also their customs and traditions. To be preserved, these communities need to be included into the multicultural mosaic that is now becoming Europe, through a process of intercultural growth: this is the first step not to be afraid of differences and to realize that, in fact, they aren’t an obstacle but, on the contrary, they give an added value to the society. Furthermore, the town is experiencing an interesting experiment: they are hosting families of refugees in abandoned houses of the city center, as a diffuse hotel, providing accommodation and training to find a job.

  • Towns of Our Italian Ancestors Our Ancestors Whether They Are Sbanos
    Towns of Our Italian Ancestors Our ancestors whether they are Sbanos, Blumettis, Buccolos, Calimanos, Chiaffetellas are known as Arbëreshë, Albanians who settled in Italy between the 15th and 1 8th centuries. They settled in the towns of San Paolo Albanese and San Costantino Albanese located in the province of Potenza in the Basilicata region of Italy and they emigrated to the United States in the 19th and early 20th century. What follows is a short history of Albanians in Italy with a description of the regions where our ancestors lived. Please note that much of what follows is taken from an article written in 1964. While I believe the history portion is accurate I do not know if the parts describing dress, culture and the amount of isolation of Albanian villages is as accurate today. Albanian History Prior to the Ottoman invasion of Albania, all Albanians were called Arbëreshë. After some 300,000 people left and settled in Italy, these Italian-born Albanians continued to use the term Arbëresh whilst those in Albania called themselves Shqiptarë. The original settlers of the Italo-Albanian villages in southern Italy came from the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea. Albania is a small area on the Balkan Peninsula, occupying part of the Adriatic Coast. The ancestral home of the ItaloAlbanians has geographic characteristics similar to their present habitat in southern Italy. About three-quarters of Albania is mountainous. The Dinaric Alps, which attain elevations of 12,000 feet, occupy the northern and central parts of the country. The Pindus Mountains stretch from the central portion southward into northern Greece.
