As an American urgently retired in Calabria, Santa Dominica Talao, I enjoyed this interview. I look forward to following the blog.
Hi Bonnie I will be retiring soon. I plan to visit the area as soon as the pandemic is under control. I'm already in Central Europe working. If you would ....please consider giving me some advice it would be appreciated. Thank you stay safe
Hi Karen,
I'm about 3/4 through your book, and enjoying it very much! My paternal grandfather came to Philadelphia from Rogiana Gravina when he was 10, and as a teenager, I worked in his butcher shop in Chealsea Heights,N.J. He never spoke of Italy to me, and your book fills in a lot of voids! Now at 80 yrs of age, I think back of those times with him, and think how tough it must have been for him!! P.S. I still love to cook! It must be in the genes! lol😃
Sorry Karen, make that Roggiano Gravina !!
Always happy to hear from someone who's enjoyed my book and glad to have been able to fill in a few gaps about your ancestral homeland. There's more on my blog - 100+ posts with lots of photos about Calabria, not specifically Roggiano Gravina but the history, flavor and culture of Calabria. Happy cooking (and eating)! www.calabriatheotheritaly.com/blog/

Hi Daniel I'm from the East Coast myself LOL but living in Central Europe now. I hope to visit once the pandemic is under control Stay safe. I wish you the best! any information you could direct me to would be appreciated.
Calabria is the only place where people dance in the street or plazas. The statues of Reace where brought to America, now the Speer and the shield are missing. Don't forget the nduja spreadable salami and the long nose fishing boats, the Tropepa onions, the women carrying things on they heads hand free.Calabria is a peninsula with the Mediterranean sea on 3 sides of it, perfect for a sea side holiday its also cheap.
This interview just came up again! Enjoyed it as much, a 2nd time around!!! CIAO!!
Wow I’m gonna definitely buy it!! Can’t wait to read it!!!
This is great to see! I will follow your blog thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
"Calabria, the other Italy." First question, "How did you get started in music?" Second question, "How did you become interested in languages?" My first question is what the hell is this woman doing as an interviewer?
How do u mean? you didnt like the questions?
Thank you Karen.... I 'm on google books right now!

Thanks, enjoy your journey to the "other Italy"!
My father was from Calabria.

Is anyone still looking for the hidden treasure of Alaric? So the legend goes.🙂
Yes, it would seem there's always someone interested. About 10 years ago the mayor of Cosenza had a project that he was trying to push through using public money. The plan was bandied about for quite a while before it was finally shut down by the Minister of Cultural Heritage. And about two years ago a team of French engineers and researchers proposed another investigation. I never heard what came of that one...
How can I get your book!In Australia?
Thank you for asking. It's available from Amazon www.amazon.com.au/Calabria-Other-Italy-Karen-Haid-ebook/dp/B00ZYTNX92/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1434958723&sr=1-1&keywords=calabria+the+other+italy or Booktopia www.amazon.com.au/Calabria-Other-Italy-Karen-Haid-ebook/dp/B00ZYTNX92/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1434958723&sr=1-1&keywords=calabria+the+other+italy The e-book is much more reasonable as the shipping is quite expensive and it looks like they partially lump it in with the book price.
@@Karens-Travel thank you!
Im from australian and want to get it too
Yes in calabria they dress so well even when they go shopping....in australia wear thongs when shopping.
Especially when shopping if it involves a Saturday evening passeggiata!
@@Karens-Travel yes true specially during the passeggiata ..the young women in calabria know how to dress, from jeans to shoes and i noted that the older people dress beautifully, their hair done color matched with shoes and bags with some bling on their hair or a bag or shoes. In australian is so different.
hilarious ladies , just sadly hilarious
L'Italia non è che una mera espressione geografica. Η Καλαβρία ...La Calabria - e si è rivelata così soprattutto per il Mezzogiorno - è la madre patria greca.
As an Italian born in Calabria I am highly offended by the title of this video and your book. What do you mean by the "Other" Italy? Isn't Calabria in Italy? Help me understand!
The title is not meant to offend in any way. When most people think of Italy, they think of the famous places. Calabria is off the radar for most visitors to Italy and largely unknown even to its fellow countrymen. Both Italians and non regularly ask me, “But why Calabria?” I often respond, “Why not Calabria?” It is a land whose potential is yet to be achieved. It’s waiting to be discovered and explored. Calabria is an Italy less traveled, the “other Italy.”
