Im a scot with irish grandparents, so im a celt ive always loved the Italian arts seen, architecture, sculptures and paintings etc ive never been to Italy but will definitely change this. Theres a lot of Italians in Scotland also amd we've always been great brothers together. Much love from Scotland 🏴🇮🇪🇮🇹

ALBALONGA ROME AND COLLI ALBANI FONDED BY ILIRIANS ALBANIANS..!!! ALL ITALY IS WITH ORIGINE ALBANIAN...IF YOU WANT BOOKS OF ANCIENT ITALIAN LITERATURE AND OF WORLD IN THE CENTURIES .. FOR THIS ... I PUT THEM HERE
@thomas anderson Thank you, we love you too. Persia was a great civilization, we Italians have respect for Iranians. The colors of our flags are the same. :)
I'm Persian and I love Italy too. Iran (Persia) and Italy have given the world many scientists, poets, philosophers, etc, etc. Drawing on historical and archaeological evidence, this fascinating documentary film by prominent European, American, Persian, etc, historians and archaeologists reconstruct 7,000 years of Persian/Iranian history : th-cam.com/video/1vMPgVmR8xU/w-d-xo.html
I am from Algeria. My little brother loves Iran, because Prince of Persia game ,He jumps everywhere😂, He wants to go to Iran and He thinks that Prince of Persia is there and lives in iran lol😂
@@massinissaziriamazigh8122 Very interesting :) Your brother always welcome! Persia (Iran) has a great civilization, history, rich mythology and culture. Persians gave to the world many great scientists, poets, and philosophers, like khayyam, Rhazes, Avicenna, Khwarizmi, Nasir Tusi, Fakhruddin Razi, Abd Rahman Sufi, Jamshid Kashani, Ferdowsi, Hafez, Saadi, Attar, Qutb Din Shirazi, etc, they are among the best scientists of human history. Many things in this world are invented by Persians 1. Sulfuric acid by Rhazes 2. Computation of 2π by Jamshid Kashani, the Persian astronomer, and mathematician. 3. The first practical windmills for the first time in the history of the world were in Iran. 4. Ethanol by Rhazes 5. A mechanical planetary computer by Jamshid Kashani 6. An ancient type of evaporative cooler and refrigerator was in Iran. 7. Ice Cream 8. Rosewater 9. The art of tile-work was invented and perfected in Iran. 10. The first time that cake was used in a birthday party was by Darius the Great 11. Qanat, 12. Polo 13. Algebra by Khwarizmi 14. Post system, 15. Fork, spoons and many different invents. There are some Persian words from ancient times in the English language like Paradise, Magic, Bazaar, etc. Rhazes was a Persian (Iranian) polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine. Rhazes is considered the father of psychology and psychotherapy, the father of pediatrics, a pioneer in ophthalmology, making leading contributions in inorganic and organic chemistry, also he is the author of several philosophical works, and also first to categorize the Hospital dept as well. Many scholars consider Rhazes one of the greatest medical doctor. Persians in 500 BC used gold forks and spoons and special gold cups at their dinner tables. The cutlery discovered in Pasargadae in Iran appears to pre-date the Greco-Roman cutlery by almost 1000 years. Cyrus the Great wrote the first Human Rights Charter. United Nations uses the Cyrus Cylinder as a pillar of one the earliest declaration of human rights. In Persia, in Persepolis palace female workers even had paid maternity leave. Persians were also known for having women take part in high governmental positions such as in Construction, Administration, Politics, etc as evident by the record-keeping clay tablets throughout Persepolis in Iran. This is something that would not be seen until at least many centuries after.
I'm albanian and just loved Italy since i can remember even though i lived in Northern Europe for over 30 years now. Honestly i love all mediterranian Europe. The azure sea is stunning, beautiful mountainous landscape, delicious food and good weather in general. Somehow i feel home every time im on vacation, wether i visit Italy, Albania, Greece or Turkey. Cheers for mediterranean culture ❤
This video doesnt emphasize what an ethnic diverse country Italy is. In the north germanic and celtic heritage, Tuscany etrurian (minor Asia?), Sardinia spanish influence, southern Italy greek, arabian, albanian. Even today the exisistence of an italian Nation is sometimes questioned.
And on top of the humankind facts, the thing to know that this little tiny Peninsula holds the biggest biodiversity ratio of the entire world or hosts more than 55 UNESCO sites Is really mind blowing! Fantastica Italia ❤️
Argentine of Italian descent here! My dad and mom both have Italian ancestry (From my dad side they came from the town of Tramutola in Basilicata and from my mother side they came from the town of Minturno in Latina, Monesiglio and Mombarcaro in Cuneo and Marano Principato in Coenza, among other). My family conserve the traditions and the foods of the ancestors even though they came here in the late 19th Century and i was lucky enough to have my grandfather teach me the Cosentino dialect. So, i’m very proud of my Italian heritage, as well of my Spanish origin (from Euskadi, Galicia, Castilla la Vieja and León). 🇦🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸
Very interesting! I'm an American of half Italian and half British/Irish heritage myself. I've always found it fascinating how Italian Argentina is and I would love to visit someday!
I'm American of Southern Italian ancestry. I have always felt I have Greek ancestors. I enjoy the music, the dancing, the culture. It is my dream to go there. We Love you too cugini ! 💕
You should visit beautiful Sicily; the mix of people, architecture and traditions are a testament to the different people who have invaded, ruled and influenced the island over many centuries. It's fascinating. That's why Sicilian sounds so different to classic mainland Italian, and why northern Italians scathingly refer to the sound of Sicilian as la lingua brutta or ugly language/tongue.
Miss T.E.A. Sicily even has the respect of all Italy in the culinary aspect. A lady from Milan I knew was not crazy about any southern Italian but she admitted the food was superior.
I'm biracial black/irish. I find Italians very attractive. Such a rich culture. Passionate....love the food.....Some of the Greatest Artists of all time come from this culture. I'm appreciative of the contributions our great nation has benifited from this culture even though it was not appreciated in the earlier part of the century. I've had the pleasure of visiting Italy when I was 14 with my mom. I was blown away. So much history. We were in Rome, Venice, Naples. My life was transformed after that trip It gave me a greater understanding and appreciation for other cultures outside of my own. Viva Italiano ...Love & Light
I speak French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. I love France, Italy and Spain but the most beautiful country, culture, language , food, fashion for me is Italy. Grande bacio
I'm an Italianophile,loved this.Such a talented people who gave so much to the entire world.And for the record,I don't have any Italian in me.100% Viking background,so I'm gonna plunder Sicily for the espressos.
Sort of off topic, but my family is Irish and Italian. But guess what? We started taking taekwondo and my bio father fuckn LOVES Mexico. The food, the music, the language. How ironic!
Finally a non-stereotyped video about Italian history! The other videos on TH-cam about this topic are just like: "Ahhh, Italian history is so rich...we have Rome and the Coliseum, then we have Romans, the Coliseum and Rome...and of course the Roman Coliseum". You're one of the few ones that mentioned the strong genetic affinity between Greeks and southern Italians, and you also mentioned the ancestral language of Salento and Calabria: GRIKO! Thank you!
@@giovanniacuto2688 "Hoi polloi" is a slang referred to the lower classes, so I don't get the point of your question, I'm sorry. Calabrians (and Salentini too) are ethnically Greeks just like the Greeks of Greece, the only difference is that Italian government forced the Calabrians and Salentini to speak Italian. This is probably the saddest part of Italian history: the assassination of regional languages and cultures, and nobody can deny that, it's history bro.
A/X you can disagree all you want bro. But it’s history it’s apart of MY FAMILY history. I’m actual proof Mexicans and Italians are one in the same almost
Eros Delorenzi the food is not similar cuz we have Indian in us but the music sound similar to Italian. Even the language we have is similar y’all speak ladino and we do too. Within your Italian population there’s a group of people who are similar to my group of people because countries with bordered don’t make you it’s your history and where you come from that does. So while you say Mexicans and Italian are not the same I have to disagree
I am italo-brazilian and we developed a great italian based culture here, with external influences too. I admire the contributions made by italians, doesn´t matter the subject, i would hear a lot in classes about Italy and italians in history, math, physics, biology and now on medicine too.
Most Italians outside Italy are in South America: Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay. There are also many in Mexico.
@@koolpurps7738 No one barrowed anything from you. What have you built? Do you have a degree in civil engineering? Also europeans didn't invent buildings, or banks, or any of those things. Get your head out of your ass and educate yourself.
MrA I know it’s seems Low IQ comment has been increased these day People judge me because my nationality even through they don’t know who I and if I am good person or not they have nothing in there life just hating people and claims there ancestors achievement not there own It’s cool to be proud of your ancestor but not to relying in their achievement and not Verbal abuse other people they think I am Arab Just because I speak Arabic language not by my family history or genetics it’s seems the best way is to ignore them and live your life
Luis Galo My mother’s great grandfather referred to himself as Italian but he was Sicilian apparently from Palermo. He stated he was referred to as a Wop.
@Sperm Worm I Consider Italians as Italians, because, well..Their in Italy, and even though they might be related to the arabs, They are still Italians. Similar to the Normans and England.
@Sperm Worm Do you realize that only in the south exists Arab dna amd it's very few? Do you realize northern Italians are 100% European and similar to southern French? Do you realize that Arabs are Caucasian too?
Hi Masaman. I'm a Portuguese descendant living in Brazil. It's true that Italian culture is very strong here, specially in the south and southeastern regions of the country. They did really influence our brazilian-portuguese language. The facts exposed are correct. Congrats. There are still some small villages and towns that speak Italian, specially the dialects from the northern parts of Italy, from where the majority of italian immigrants originally came to Brazil. They came to work mainly in coffee farms as freemen as a substitute for slaves after the prohibition of the slave trade. After that, they largely contributed to our industrialization process. It's said that most of the Italians that came to south america are from Italy's northern parts, in opposition to north america where the majority went from the Italian south. I wonder, if that's the case, why did it happen this way. Maybe that's why Brazil has never had a real problem with the italian mobs.
@@lenase7396 My country has a lot of problems. I won't deny. I was just pointing at the immigrational impact the Italians had in our society. I don't know where you're from, but I meant no harm in my comments. I don't really wanna talk about Bolsonaro. He's just at the beginning of his government. Our citizens voted for him and he represents the bigger part of our society. I respect him as the chosen president and hope he turns into a great one.
The history of Islam in Sicily and Southern Italy began with the first Arab settlement in Sicily, at Mazara, which was captured in 827.[1] The subsequent rule of Sicily and Malta started in the 10th century.[2] The Emirate of Sicily lasted from 831 until 1061, and controlled the whole island by 902. Though Sicily was the primary Muslim stronghold in Italy, some temporary footholds, the most substantial of which was the port city of Bari (occupied from 847 until 871), were established on the mainland peninsula, especially in mainland Southern Italy, though Muslim raids, mainly those of Muhammad I ibn al-Aghlab, reached as far north as Naples, Rome and the northern region of Piedmont. The Arab raids were part of a larger struggle for power in Italy and Europe, with Christian Byzantine, Frankish, Norman and local Italian forces also competing for control. Arabs were sometimes sought as allies by various Christian factions against other factions.
Im a greatgrandson of italian immigrants frtom the Vèneto region, and here the italian immigrants came for a different occupation. The immigrants that worked in coffee farms were only the ones that arrived in Sao Paulo and Espirito Santo. In the southern part of Brazil, especially Rio Grande do Sul, they came with the promise of land and work, many indeed were granted pieces of land and established little farmlands with corn, beans, pigs and chickens and later established new communities and cities in the "colonias" region of central-northeastern Rio Grande do Sul and western Santa Catarina. As for the speaking communities of veneto, talian and other italian dialects, its still strong among families (my grandparents learned portuguese when they were about 20 yo) and with some slangs and common words borrowed from italian (like blasphemies for cursing - porco dio, dio cane, porca madonna, etc - popular sayings and words that originally were from italian dialects and now are understood by practically anyone living in these regions - ciuco/tchuco, baùco, furbo, voia, etc) into the now standard "dialect" of portuguese spoken in some parts of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

I've been to Italy twice and enjoyed it very much. My mother's family came from the region of Italy called Abruzzo. According to a DNA test I have taken I am of Iberian, Greek and West Asian on my mother's side. On my dad's side I am Scandinavian.

I am half Sicilian, living in America as the first generation in my bloodline to speak English from from birth (or soon after). I do speak what my family calls Italian, but when I went to Italy they said that I spoke like I was from 100 years ago from "the South". In fact, upon occasion, in a more rustic Northern Italian crowd, they said I was an "African". But I am very proud of my Sicilian Heritage - and I plan to learn more and more of my Sicilian Dialect as I bone up on my Italian. Sicily has a great History. And Within the Sicilian Culture and Language are the Hidden Gems of Early Europe.
Vindexproeliator I don’t know if you’re being facetious but I’m sure he means the United States a lot of the Americans (United statians? Lol) call the states america when all of North America, central and South America is the America’s
Sicilian language worth to be studied for sure, but for the culture, not for the use. Like in every italian area, there isn't a single language. I could call it dialect as well, it wouldn't be an issue to me (I love and respect it anyway), because there's no official Sicilian, unlike Italian (and that's why so many argues about language vs dialect, just because official italian does exist, and people use to forget that fundamental thing). For you it's good to communicate with your relatives, but sicilian is a land-based language. To get it useful, you should live where that kind of Sicilian is spoken. Don't get me wrong, you may still be able to understand other Sicilian variants, but if there's no Sicilian language classes, have to be a reason! Hugs from Italy.
@@Alexeon The funny thing is that English is the official language of the US, a nation that seems to forget that the US is not the whole of America. Argentina is also part of an America. The people the US simply calls Americans are definitely North Americans, but how to distinguish them from Canadians, who also live in North America (and a larger area for more)? Oh yes, they are THE Americans, not even North Americans, everyone else is something else, like a frame. I am European, but if you are tired enough of that, I am tired enough of feeling disrespectful to other people living in the Americas, who are just American as much as you are. And for sure, they don't waste the planet's resources as US people do. I was forgetting… in Italian actually there is a demonym for US: Statunitensi. It's a matter of respect.
I just recently had a genetic DNA test done (Im from Madrid in Spain), and it turns out Im 75% Iberian and 25% Italian. Guess some of my ancestors were Roman Soldiers when they conquered the peninsula. Hail Caesar!!!

@Galderik No, sorry, it is an exaggeration. I could name an army of people who were extremely important for our world who were not Italians. Many among some of greatest artist, philosophers, scientists, composers were members of other nations. Still, I could say once more that Italians made a very significant impact to our civilization, and as a nation I don't know any other that attract that much sympathy or love as Italian nation. And I am proud of my far ancestry who were Italians. Ciao!
@Galderik It could take a long time to read a list of important people who weren't Italians. Second thing, you cannot perceive Western civilization as an isolated phenomena, that is more likely a flow of historical events, one connected to another. Short questions, what would Italy, in terms of visual art, be if there weren't ancient Greece? Name two famous roman philosophers! Nah, they are all Greek. Or, put later Italian philosophers in comparison to German (Hegel, Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, ...), French (Decartes, Voltaire...), British (Hume, Lock...) etc. All important philosophers were not Italians. Art: Renaissance has its deserved place, but there is much more of it. After that period (and after counter Reformation) almost all important art was concentrated around Paris, and after WW2 in New York. Music: take a look at German composers (Bach, Mozart, Handel, Brahms...) or Russian (Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky...), French (Debussy, Bizet...), Chopin (polish) Liszt (hungarian). In science, Italians in last several hundred years are significantly lacking behind some other western nations, even Russians. Invention of the telephone is not the ultimate criteria. What do you think of Nikola Tesla, for example? He also invented the telephone, but lost the law case about that. What nationality was Picasso? Claude Monet? Auguste Rodin was as great sculptor as Michelangelo. What was Einstein, Darwin? Etc, etc, etc. But one thing is for certain, ONLY Italians knows what is OPERA and how it should be performed. Italians absolutely stand alone in that matter. And not only because of great composers (Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo...) but also because of the greatest singers ever lived ( Corelli, Di Stefano, Del Monaco, Caruso, Granforte, Fisichella......).
Very educational. I am not Italian, however Italian food is my most favourite and I also enjoy the clothing and arts. So I enjoyed learning about what I didn't know. Thanks.

Fun fact: the so called Kingdom of Sardinia had Turin as capital city, and the Savoy dinasty as monarchs. Sardinia was acquired by the Savoy ( the Dukes of Turin) after the Treaty of the Hague, in 1720. Basically, we Sardinians had little to no political influence in the kingdom named after our island.
More embarrassing is that after the War Of Spanish Succession the Duchy of Savoy acquired Sicily and became the Kingdom of Sicily. However the Savoy bureaucracy who mostly came from Piedmont (Piemonte) the region around Turin, pissed off the Sicilians (and still do today). So Sicily was taken away from the Dukes of Savoy and they were given Sardinia as a sort of consolation prize. The royal family did actual live in exile on Sardinia during the Napoleonic wars when mainland Savoy (Savoie in France) and Piedmont were under French occupation.
@@adelasia1119 Giuanne Maria Angioy was betrayed and exiled by the same guy who helped him raise the rebellion.... curious that "Su patriotu sardu a sos feudatarios" the hymn of the rebellion is now the official anthem of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.

Hannibal didn't get to Italy just for a friendly visit, Genghis Khan and the vicious Mongols weren't a friendly bunch, the Ottoman Empire, the Chinese Han Dynasty, the North African Moors... these are just a few, caused havoc in our history, look at the Chinese Uyghurs how they are being attacked, invaded submitted in the present...

the mediterrenean people are similar each other... what do you expect to see? subsaharian africans, chinese, steppe people or scandinavians? basic characteristics are the same just like you.
@Invicta yes i mean in generall not in details.. i know that there were many tribes in the anient past but the basic ethnic groups are the same. like italians, the old italics. it was not only romans. italian paninsula had many italian origin native populations. all were the same. they were not different. of course except greeks and punes. all the others are native people of the italian peninsula. i talked her like that because there are not basic differences between many people close to our lands. it was a bit ironic. not true.
@Invicta sure.. i am sorry.. maybe you could not understand the irony because of the english way... i mean that of course phoenician people as she is saying would be much closer than the chinese or the steppe people of course. that is what i could try to say. sure all are different just like you said. greetings to italy from an east peninsula neighbor :P :P

I am an American who lived and worked in Caracas, Venezuela for one year. I was surprised at the number of Italians living there. Some were taxi drivers with the best old cars on the road - vintage vehicles from the 1950s in excellent shape. The Italian restaurants were the best in terms of cleanliness and quality of food and service. I will always be grateful to Italians all over the world who share and spread their concepts of good living with us all.
Italians and Nazis moved there and other parts of South America after they got their ass kick in WW2. To escape trials for the war crimes they committed.
As we say in greece and italy:una faccia una razza (μια φάτσα μια ράτσα )as (south) italians have almost identical face characteristics with the greeks .You can not tell them apart
As a Sicilian I know the connection with Greece, but I feel much more in common with the Spanish. The Greek language is MUCH different than Italian, the writing is much different, the Religion is different, the food is different. The first time I heard Spanish I could understand most of it, Greek zero. Spanish and Italians share the Catholic religion. Greeks are Christians but their religion looks like what the Russians have.
Hi there this maps are to old and the name of greece or greegs it didn’t exist at all until two hundred years ago the name of greece was Rumelia.The people of Greece part of it come from micro-Asia,from Egypt and dhe biggest number of population are the Arbans which they call it arvanits this is the truth in the base of istory.Now if you are same race with the people of south Italy they have been there about five hundred years because the Turkish emperor was to the other side in Albania.The Albanian fighters settled in Italy from Tuscany to the Sicely.This lovely people are(Arberesh) who speaking until today their language and italian language.👍
@Abc Abc , oh go on....get your history right. Didn't you get what was said of people of Italian descent? There are around 170 million of them all around the world. Many are bound to have intermingled with several ethnic groups. Many Africans, Asians, Europeans and so on. Nice! I like this idea. I am of Etruscan descent. I married a Ligurian and our daughters have in turn married men from the Papal States and Daunia. This is our beloved nation today
Bravo Masaman! You've done a good job/quick synopsis of Italy. My family came from Sicily and I will tell you that the cultural influences just across Sicily are absolutely extraordinary. I believe it is accurate that the dialectical density in Italy is either the greatest, or amongst the greatest anywhere in the world----the flipside of this of course is....nobody could understand anybody from outside their "paese"/village. Again " Complimenti"!
As Ligurian with half Piedmontese acestry we could say that I can understand North Western Italian dialects in some way, the Southern Italian dialects are much more complex to understand, but since we all speak Tuscan, with just different accents, no linguistic problem at all!
@Derek Chauvin what do you call a half rotten apple?, a good apple to eat? I call apples are those ones who don't have a half rotten part, the rotten one are apples but have lesser Valor, indeed nobody buys rotten apples
Yes and it's something that I'm not so sure Europe and the Continent of America are currently appreciating and understanding how much Latin Culture is the basis of all European and American Culture, Ideology, Philosophies and Bilateral Democracies.
A comprehensive, accessible presentation of Italy and her people around the world, summarizing 4000 years in less than 12 minutes. Impressive, and with much gratitude.
To those who argued about the past. The past gave us great artists like Michelangelo and da vinci. Singers like pavarotti and many other Italian icons. We must honor those who came before us no matter who we are.Viva Italia!
I'm 15% Italian, but I've always been most fascinated with Italian culture than any other culture. You could spend a lifetime studying Italian history.
@Galderik dude you are hilarious. At least you have a strong sense of pride for your ethnicity and culture and defend it with Hyperbolic statements. Italians make the most joyful and beautiful cars in the world to drive. My Alfa Quadrifoglio is a work of art.
That ending made me emotional. Thats beautiful how much influence italy had over us westerners, even globally. Man. This channel makes me wanna get a dna test.
Lived and worked in Italia couple of years . Really great people full of love and respect for foreigners . Got a lot of friends too . Love Italy as Albania!! No difference at all
As an Italian I am aware of living in a country that has contributed greatly to the development of human culture, but I must say that for us Italians the cradle of civilization has always been ancient Greece...
Greeks only ever inhabited small parts of Italy and then the Roman Empire was formed and they ruled over the entirety of Greece. Greeks even considered themselves Roman back then.
My ancestry of Italian history is Calabrese, Naples and Bari . I am half Italian from my father's side of the family. Grazie mille, questo e buono. Thank you.
There is no such a thing as being "Half Italian". Being Italian is not a race although Italians are generally Caucasians. Italian is a nationality/culture.
@@gaetanoquintiliani170 Don't try to teach me my history. No, there was only one Latin group in Italy and they were located in the region of Lazio (Latium in Latin). They were incorporated by the Romans who adopted their Latin Language. No, they were not wiped out. There is no specific "Italian" DNA. We are a mix of all the groups living in Italy in pre-Roman time and those who entered Italy from other parts of Europe after the Roman Empire ceased but we are proud Italians by history, culture and traditions and of course Roman Catholicism. This is why we all look different from each other because of the different Caucasian origins. th-cam.com/video/jyAjG4hPckA/w-d-xo.html

I am Persian ,when I visited Rome for the first time I saw a lot of people who seemed that I have seen in Tehran before . Their behavioral characters was very similar to Iranians also
I'm Argentine, descendant from Italians. We have inherited many traits from Italians, not only the obvious physical appearance, but also the gestures, lexicon, and phonetic features we have transferred to Spanish. As someone once said, "Argentines are Italians who speak Spanish and believe they are French." haha
As an Italian, this makes me happy. Although I wish you delved more in the genetic aspect like in many of your other videos rather than simply the history

Italy was the centre modern science and gave this world many discoveries based on which the modern world developed many of its present technologies. Further, Italy has given this world many cuisines. The only dark period of Italy was when it passed into fascism under Mussolini. Italy is today a very respectable nation in the comity of modern nations.
Very similar cultures. I’m Italian American and when I went to Mexico one summer the people were amazing, awesome food, and the family structure is similar.
If I can make a remark, it's not only the languages you cited that are mutually unintelligible with Italian, but also many other "dialects" even if they're not officially recognized as languages. Even the "same" dialect family can feature mutually unintelligible dialects: take Lombard. Often grouped in just one pot, it's actually harder than that. As a Milanese/western lombard speaker you could hardly understand dialects from the Bergamo and Brescia areas. And I say this by experience. And sure an italian-only speaker would have a tough time understanding most "dialects".
My name is Greek but DNA is 50% Italian 42% Greek. Our family picked up the Italian language very fast when two Italians showed up in our small African town. The way I see it for hundred of years armies and traders moved across Mediterranean, we all know what men need away from home. I also call Mediterranean the interned of ancients, worked just fine, a bit slow but it worked.

@@massinissaziriamazigh8122 Very interesting :) Your brother always welcome! Persia (Iran) has a great civilization, history, rich mythology and culture. Persians gave to the world many great scientists, poets, and philosophers, like khayyam, Rhazes, Avicenna, Khwarizmi, Nasir Tusi, Fakhruddin Razi, Abd Rahman Sufi, Jamshid Kashani, Ferdowsi, Hafez, Saadi, Attar, Qutb Din Shirazi, etc, they are among the best scientists of human history. Many things in this world are invented by Persians 1. Sulfuric acid by Rhazes 2. Computation of 2π by Jamshid Kashani, the Persian astronomer, and mathematician. 3. The first practical windmills for the first time in the history of the world were in Iran. 4. Ethanol by Rhazes 5. A mechanical planetary computer by Jamshid Kashani 6. An ancient type of evaporative cooler and refrigerator was in Iran. 7. Ice Cream 8. Rosewater 9. The art of tile-work was invented and perfected in Iran. 10. The first time that cake was used in a birthday party was by Darius the Great 11. Qanat, 12. Polo 13. Algebra by Khwarizmi 14. Post system, 15. Fork, spoons and many different invents.
There are some Persian words from ancient times in the English language like Paradise, Magic, Bazaar, etc.
Rhazes was a Persian (Iranian) polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine. Rhazes is considered the father of psychology and psychotherapy, the father of pediatrics, a pioneer in ophthalmology, making leading contributions in inorganic and organic chemistry, also he is the author of several philosophical works, and also first to categorize the Hospital dept as well. Many scholars consider Rhazes one of the greatest medical doctor.
Persians in 500 BC used gold forks and spoons and special gold cups at their dinner tables. The cutlery discovered in Pasargadae in Iran appears to pre-date the Greco-Roman cutlery by almost 1000 years.
Cyrus the Great wrote the first Human Rights Charter. United Nations uses the Cyrus Cylinder as a pillar of one the earliest declaration of human rights.
In Persia, in Persepolis palace female workers even had paid maternity leave. Persians were also known for having women take part in high governmental positions such as in Construction, Administration, Politics, etc as evident by the record-keeping clay tablets throughout Persepolis in Iran. This is something that would not be seen until at least many centuries after.

You should visit beautiful Sicily; the mix of people, architecture and traditions are a testament to the different people who have invaded, ruled and influenced the island over many centuries. It's fascinating. That's why Sicilian sounds so different to classic mainland Italian, and why northern Italians scathingly refer to the sound of Sicilian as la lingua brutta or ugly language/tongue.

Hi Masaman. I'm a Portuguese descendant living in Brazil. It's true that Italian culture is very strong here, specially in the south and southeastern regions of the country. They did really influence our brazilian-portuguese language. The facts exposed are correct. Congrats.
There are still some small villages and towns that speak Italian, specially the dialects from the northern parts of Italy, from where the majority of italian immigrants originally came to Brazil.
They came to work mainly in coffee farms as freemen as a substitute for slaves after the prohibition of the slave trade. After that, they largely contributed to our industrialization process.
It's said that most of the Italians that came to south america are from Italy's northern parts, in opposition to north america where the majority went from the Italian south. I wonder, if that's the case, why did it happen this way.
Maybe that's why Brazil has never had a real problem with the italian mobs.
True but you have Bolsonaro yuck. Tough luck.

The history of Islam in Sicily and Southern Italy began with the first Arab settlement in Sicily, at Mazara, which was captured in 827.[1] The subsequent rule of Sicily and Malta started in the 10th century.[2] The Emirate of Sicily lasted from 831 until 1061, and controlled the whole island by 902. Though Sicily was the primary Muslim stronghold in Italy, some temporary footholds, the most substantial of which was the port city of Bari (occupied from 847 until 871), were established on the mainland peninsula, especially in mainland Southern Italy, though Muslim raids, mainly those of Muhammad I ibn al-Aghlab, reached as far north as Naples, Rome and the northern region of Piedmont. The Arab raids were part of a larger struggle for power in Italy and Europe, with Christian Byzantine, Frankish, Norman and local Italian forces also competing for control. Arabs were sometimes sought as allies by various Christian factions against other factions.
That’s true in my case, living in NA and my family is from Calabria, basically as far south you can go before you hit Sicily.
Im a greatgrandson of italian immigrants frtom the Vèneto region, and here the italian immigrants came for a different occupation. The immigrants that worked in coffee farms were only the ones that arrived in Sao Paulo and Espirito Santo. In the southern part of Brazil, especially Rio Grande do Sul, they came with the promise of land and work, many indeed were granted pieces of land and established little farmlands with corn, beans, pigs and chickens and later established new communities and cities in the "colonias" region of central-northeastern Rio Grande do Sul and western Santa Catarina. As for the speaking communities of veneto, talian and other italian dialects, its still strong among families (my grandparents learned portuguese when they were about 20 yo) and with some slangs and common words borrowed from italian (like blasphemies for cursing - porco dio, dio cane, porca madonna, etc - popular sayings and words that originally were from italian dialects and now are understood by practically anyone living in these regions - ciuco/tchuco, baùco, furbo, voia, etc) into the now standard "dialect" of portuguese spoken in some parts of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

I am half Sicilian, living in America as the first generation in my bloodline to speak English from from birth (or soon after). I do speak what my family calls Italian, but when I went to Italy they said that I spoke like I was from 100 years ago from "the South". In fact, upon occasion, in a more rustic Northern Italian crowd, they said I was an "African". But I am very proud of my Sicilian Heritage - and I plan to learn more and more of my Sicilian Dialect as I bone up on my Italian. Sicily has a great History. And Within the Sicilian Culture and Language are the Hidden Gems of Early Europe.

Eric, you may want to tell us your story all in SICILIAN and upload it on our atlas! :)

You are georgian old etrusko iberian caucasus
Sicilian language worth to be studied for sure, but for the culture, not for the use. Like in every italian area, there isn't a single language. I could call it dialect as well, it wouldn't be an issue to me (I love and respect it anyway), because there's no official Sicilian, unlike Italian (and that's why so many argues about language vs dialect, just because official italian does exist, and people use to forget that fundamental thing). For you it's good to communicate with your relatives, but sicilian is a land-based language. To get it useful, you should live where that kind of Sicilian is spoken. Don't get me wrong, you may still be able to understand other Sicilian variants, but if there's no Sicilian language classes, have to be a reason! Hugs from Italy.
@@Alexeon The funny thing is that English is the official language of the US, a nation that seems to forget that the US is not the whole of America. Argentina is also part of an America. The people the US simply calls Americans are definitely North Americans, but how to distinguish them from Canadians, who also live in North America (and a larger area for more)? Oh yes, they are THE Americans, not even North Americans, everyone else is something else, like a frame.
I am European, but if you are tired enough of that, I am tired enough of feeling disrespectful to other people living in the Americas, who are just American as much as you are. And for sure, they don't waste the planet's resources as US people do.
I was forgetting… in Italian actually there is a demonym for US: Statunitensi. It's a matter of respect.

Most loved nation in the world! You cannot imagine the world without the Italian impact to it. Greetings from Serbia.
@Galderik That is quite an exaggeration, though.
@Galderik No, sorry, it is an exaggeration. I could name an army of people who were extremely important for our world who were not Italians. Many among some of greatest artist, philosophers, scientists, composers were members of other nations. Still, I could say once more that Italians made a very significant impact to our civilization, and as a nation I don't know any other that attract that much sympathy or love as Italian nation. And I am proud of my far ancestry who were Italians. Ciao!
@Galderik It could take a long time to read a list of important people who weren't Italians. Second thing, you cannot perceive Western civilization as an isolated phenomena, that is more likely a flow of historical events, one connected to another. Short questions, what would Italy, in terms of visual art, be if there weren't ancient Greece? Name two famous roman philosophers! Nah, they are all Greek. Or, put later Italian philosophers in comparison to German (Hegel, Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, ...), French (Decartes, Voltaire...), British (Hume, Lock...) etc. All important philosophers were not Italians. Art: Renaissance has its deserved place, but there is much more of it. After that period (and after counter Reformation) almost all important art was concentrated around Paris, and after WW2 in New York. Music: take a look at German composers (Bach, Mozart, Handel, Brahms...) or Russian (Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky...), French (Debussy, Bizet...), Chopin (polish) Liszt (hungarian). In science, Italians in last several hundred years are significantly lacking behind some other western nations, even Russians. Invention of the telephone is not the ultimate criteria. What do you think of Nikola Tesla, for example? He also invented the telephone, but lost the law case about that. What nationality was Picasso? Claude Monet? Auguste Rodin was as great sculptor as Michelangelo. What was Einstein, Darwin? Etc, etc, etc. But one thing is for certain, ONLY Italians knows what is OPERA and how it should be performed. Italians absolutely stand alone in that matter. And not only because of great composers (Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo...) but also because of the greatest singers ever lived ( Corelli, Di Stefano, Del Monaco, Caruso, Granforte, Fisichella......).
I didn't mentioned literature and poetry, but it is similar case as above mentioned.

"One Enchanted Evening I Found an Old Friend" in Italian
Fun fact: the so called Kingdom of Sardinia had Turin as capital city, and the Savoy dinasty as monarchs. Sardinia was acquired by the Savoy ( the Dukes of Turin) after the Treaty of the Hague, in 1720. Basically, we Sardinians had little to no political influence in the kingdom named after our island.
More embarrassing is that after the War Of Spanish Succession the Duchy of Savoy acquired Sicily and became the Kingdom of Sicily. However the Savoy bureaucracy who mostly came from Piedmont (Piemonte) the region around Turin, pissed off the Sicilians (and still do today). So Sicily was taken away from the Dukes of Savoy and they were given Sardinia as a sort of consolation prize. The royal family did actual live in exile on Sardinia during the Napoleonic wars when mainland Savoy (Savoie in France) and Piedmont were under French occupation.

They were incorporated by the Romans who adopted their Latin Language. No, they were not wiped out. There is no specific "Italian" DNA. We are a mix of all the groups living in Italy in pre-Roman time and those who entered Italy from other parts of Europe after the Roman Empire ceased but we are proud Italians by history, culture and traditions and of course Roman Catholicism.

Maybe your country should have been colonized by Italy like they wanted to a hundred years ago. I bet you'd be happier.
I’m English but I hope you to live in Italy one day. Beautiful language, people, countryside and culture. FORZA ITALIA! ahaha ❤️
You are welcome anytime!
I'm Italian but I'd love to visit London 🤗
I had the experience of living in Siena for study. Simply glorious!

What does "half assed back" mean?
So you're looking to live in a more corrupt country with lesser living standards?
Nice video Masaman! As an Italian who stumbled across this video I want to thank you, it's very well put together "very well" 👍🇮🇹
You forgot to add that America was named after Amerigo Vespucci
Wrong......named for the Amaru.....the true Copper skin Indians...Thousands of years before European " explorers"
@@1venom74 Yes, we know and you don't have to bring it up! America is the European name for The US section of North America. You don't have to see offense and racism in everything. Give us break, pleeez?! Your safe space is missing you!
@@kelrogers8480One plus one just equals two...nothing emotional about that..just facts...I am not "racist" I don't have the power the oppress a specific ethnicity based on prejudice....try understanding the venacular first, before you attempt to make what you consider is a point...there is nothing deragatory about my statement of fact, which obviously you aware of and it's the Americas...not just N America....also a fact that Mansa Musa traveled here as far as 1380 smart guy...so fuck Amerigo Vaspuci
@@1venom74 No idea what you're talking about, except that you're rude and ill-mannered, and that your comments are racist and unnecessary. Don't know who Munsa is, and frankly, I don't care. I looked for decency and found he wasn't home. I have no wish to interact with you any further.
@@kelrogers8480 sorry your but hurt😘...I know you don't know what I'm speaking about...if you did you. would have never stated that America is a European for ANYTHING much less a section of anything..point is ..I"m not letting you give your ancestors credit for our accomplishments...CHECKMATE Mr Pinkman
Etruscans are NOT Indo-European.They were old europeans who were living in that area before the Indo-Europeans.
Peace&Justice&Equality
Some historians says Etruscans are Turks,what are you think about?
Peace&Justice&Equality why did they have a asiatic appearance?
facts.
@@papazataklaattiranimam

Peace&Justice&Equality that is true 99.9% 👐🏻🇮🇹
Italy was the centre modern science and gave this world many discoveries based on which the modern world developed many of its present technologies. Further, Italy has given this world many cuisines. The only dark period of Italy was when it passed into fascism under Mussolini. Italy is today a very respectable nation in the comity of modern nations.
My dad is italian and my mom daughter of italian immigrants in Mexico. 🇮🇹🇲🇽
Very similar cultures. I’m Italian American and when I went to Mexico one summer the people were amazing, awesome food, and the family structure is similar.
Nikos Semperlotti yeah, your surname is Italian
There's a place called Nueva Italia in Mexico too
Marry another Italian to keep it going ❤️
Apoco tu? 🇲🇽☝️😎
If I can make a remark, it's not only the languages you cited that are mutually unintelligible with Italian, but also many other "dialects" even if they're not officially recognized as languages. Even the "same" dialect family can feature mutually unintelligible dialects: take Lombard. Often grouped in just one pot, it's actually harder than that. As a Milanese/western lombard speaker you could hardly understand dialects from the Bergamo and Brescia areas. And I say this by experience.
And sure an italian-only speaker would have a tough time understanding most "dialects".
Pota! You are right
And the same is in Veneto region where even in the same province the language changes
Minchia, you are right, same thing with sicilian.
I went to Piazza Armerina once, couldn't understand them
@@thecrazydestructoniz Are you from Sicily? Do you know the meaning of "Bonavoglio/Bonavoglia"???
@@sopmodo8122 Doesnt really mean anything per se, but Bona is the feminine form of Bono, which means "good" and voglio means "i want"
@@sopmodo8122 Meanwhile Voglia means "will", like something you want to do.
My name is Greek but DNA is 50% Italian 42% Greek. Our family picked up the Italian language very fast when two Italians showed up in our small African town. The way I see it for hundred of years armies and traders moved across Mediterranean, we all know what men need away from home. I also call Mediterranean the interned of ancients, worked just fine, a bit slow but it worked.

DNA? Blood has Italian markers now?
You are Albanian my friend or Illyrian😊
I am Egyptian morrocan Italian and so blessed to be mixed with the beautiful country of Italy ❤️🇪🇬🇲🇦🇮🇹❤️
