I am a black citizen of the United States but I lived in Italy from May 1982 - June 1984 when I was a member of the United States Air Force stationed at Aviano Italy. I lived in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy and traveled extensively all over that region plus I traveled to many other Italian regions. During my travels in Italy, I was surprised to see people who looked like me but were Italian. That is what brought me to your video. I wanted to learn more about the African Diaspora in Italy. In spite of being a short video, I learned a great deal from you. I studied American History in college so I know about the African Diaspora in the Americas but I know little about the African Diaspora in the rest of the world. I am looking forward to seeing your other videos.
I just want to thank you for updating the historical knowledge that I should have had from grade school thru six years of college. Now that I'm a grandfather, I have started searching for suitable educational material to facilitate homeschooling. Your presentation and style is a perfect vehicle to model.What you have done is priceless. I would like to introduce you to my "Queen", Dr.Arikana Chihombori-Quao, former UN Ambassador to the African Union. She is on a mission to reach out to the African diaspora in order to facilitate making the continent of Africa great again. She has established an organization, A.D.D.I.org. With you and people like your could rapidly accomplish that mission which starts by educating and motivating diaspora to realize the benefit.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for supporting the project! I will read more about Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao, it sounds like she is doing amazing work!
@Salvatore Beneventi I’m not saying all bc no not all Sicilians are. However, there is evidence that some are but don’t want to admit it or don’t know about it. You act like West Africans didn’t get scattered around the Earth. And not just that, they actually ruled Europe at one point as well. My ancestors were from Palermo and were there for many generations. And yes my ancestors from my grandfathers side many years ago were black. It’s not impossible.
Forgot to mention that almost all my grandparents are sicilian except for my material grandmother. I mentioned my paternal grandfather bc it’s on his side of the family where my black ancestors come from. I found out from DNA testing and my relatives
I’m Italian and Irish and look mixed face plus have Arab looking eyebrows olive skin and an Afro really confused as mum is living in England and Italian family is in the north and no one in my family looks like me
Hey Lucca! What an interesting mix! Maybe there is also some mix on either your Italian or Irish side? I made a video on the African diaspora in Ireland you might find interesting as I speak in that video on a person who experienced something similar in that he didn't resemble either of his parents.

Correction: Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that was never colonized! it was defeated at the Battle of Adwa in 1896! Historically significant as the only time that a European would-be colonizer was defeated in its attempt to do so. Italy tried again and did occupy Ethiopia from 1936-1941 but was driven out when Haile Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia appealed to the League of Nations and was able to drive Mussolini's. army out of the country.
Amd alot of what she says is BS yes there were a few black Roman soldiers and generals in Rome but Rome is originally white and true italians are white and it's our culture not yours
An Italian speaking African rapper lol you know how easy it would be to rhyme speaking Italian, every word ends in a vowel, usually an A,E,I or O and words that end with E have a sharp A sound
A very good video, I wish you had mentioned that during the Scramble for Africa (1881 -1914), Ethiopia successfully thwarted Italian attempts at colonialization at the Battle of Adwa on March 1, 1896. Italy did occupy Ethiopia from 1936 -1941, but the Battle of Adwa was a monumental event that prevented Italian colonization of Ethiopia.
@@thesuperflash2181 No one knows everything. Overall she does an excellent job with her videos. She brings more information about the African Diaspora to the masses than anyone else on youtube.
Ethiopians was savages. Fully dedicated to enslaving africans and to slave trade. Not to mention that to carry out such practice they had to invade their neighboorhoods like the Tigrines that we Italians have helped by forging for them a country of their own. The Eritrean founding father was an Italian Ascaro, colonial trooper. Those people was beloved in Italy. When the fascist arrived in Ethiopia, they immediately quitted slave trade. That was the point the ethiopians considered "crossing the line" and started the real rebellion against us. Their rebels was used to mutilate our troops both Italians and especially the Acricans. They even took scalpos from both soldiers and civilians. And do not forget the rapings of civilian women and childrens. One can argue that fascists was bad, sure, it is true. But Ethiopians wasn't better. If you use them as symbol of African freedom, one day your childrens will be ashamed by your decisions as much as the Americans and European have already experienced.
I'm labeled an African-American (a label I despise because it's 2 continents, not an ethnicity nor identify my true ethnicity, just identifies locations my ancestors have been in), who descend from the enslaved brought to America. Did a DNA test recently with CRI genetics & results show 27.1% Italy. Don't know how cause I'm 100% certain I'm 85 to 90% Negro & African (yes, that's 2 different Black bloodline, ones Semite the other is, well, African), some Indigenous North & South American & Indigenous Australia, various Indigenous tribes in India & only a total of 9% European like 1% Ashkenazi, Russia, Japan & Chinese, Irish combined.. Best I can guess about that 27.1% Italy DNA in me came from those Moors who once ruled Italy who undoubtedly have the same DNA as those North African & those people taken into slavery, those Semites.
@@villamedj3533 White washing history is universal, not just here in America- albeit the brainwashing prehaps is much worse. Moors did once rule a portion of Italy, Morocco & Britain, the original Egyptians are Black Africans & those Black people taken into slavery during the Transatlantic Slave Trade were in fact Hebrews of the Tribe of Judah, true blood Israelites.

Ethiopia was not colonized by Italy. In fact, Ethiopia successfully defeated Italian colonizers twice. Battle of Adwa (1896): This was a significant victory where Ethiopian forces, led by Emperor Menelik II, defeated the Italian army, securing Ethiopia’s independence and making it a symbol of anti-colonial resistance. Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1941): Although Italy initially occupied Ethiopia, the Ethiopian resistance, along with Allied forces during World War II, eventually expelled the Italians, restoring Ethiopia’s sovereignty. These victories are celebrated as major milestones in Ethiopia’s history and its fight against colonialism.

@@rosalindwalker9277 thanks for your reply. Apologies for any miss understandings. My "Communication style/lack there of": is not that great?? I did not mean it, to come across in such a way/as such.
Hello...just want take to some time to make my opinions to your posting...North Africa was colonized by Greece and Rome. Many of the peoples in that area's may have been called African but were of Mediterranean/Semitic decent. Carthage and Phoenicians are their decedents. Lets get it right!!! Same for the Generals or Emperors you elude to are not of Black African decent. Severus was not of sub-Saharan or Black African decent. Its so evident. ....Why do you keep saying this??? ( look at there busts or the other Roman Figures.. st .Benedict was not a Moor but a came from an African Slave family.........what books are you reading???????? Sorry for my tone. Please refer to the coinage, frescos, Art and Figures in those times...all Caucasian/Mediterranean looking people....
The Punic peoples of Carthage were originally Phoenician, but the Native North Africans, the Amazigh are NOT semitic people and their languages are not part of the Semitic brach of Afro-Asiatic. Amazigh are just as African as Congolese. Africa is a continent of great linguistic, cultural and physical diversity. Even Sub Saharan Africans show a great range of diversity in skin tones, facial structures and body types. You get the San and Khoi people, many of whom are are light as the Rifis you find in the Atlas to the darkest of the dark brown in parts of Senegal, they are all African. As for the term Moor, look up the history of the word. It's meaning and connotation has changed depending on geographic location and time period. In some places and times it was referred to Muslims in general. At other times, North Africans in general, regardless of skin tone and at other times, it was applied to Africans in general. This is why it was customary to play the role of the Moor Othelo in black face until recent times in the Opera.
@@TRUTHTEACHER2007 smh.....North Africans have been invaded and colonized long before Carthage entered the picture...Vandals, A roman republics, Greeks, Phoenicians, and the many many other Eurasian, and Caucasians were there for many years......Look at the Punic Sicilian Coinage..... www.coinarchives.com/a/results.php?results=100&search=Punic+Sicily th-cam.com/video/XQQsqdYP-5M/w-d-xo.html
@@manitheman0806 There have been invasions, colonizations and migrations, that is true. But before all these people came, the Amazigh were there. When those people left, the Amazigh were still there. The Vandals came in the Middle Ages, but to very specific areas, not all of it. The Arabs came and left their language. The majority of people we call Arabs there are ARABIZED Amazigh. They are still Africans because they never left. When you listen to their music, when you look at the way they dance, when you look at their folk spiritual traditions, that exist parallel to Islam, you are looking at another part of the African World. They are Africans and just because they may not look like what some European scholars may think an African should look like doesn't change this fact. There are many ways to be African and many ways to look African. The Amazigh are Africans. Just as the fact that I have Jewish, European, Native American etc ancestry doesn't change the fact that I am predominantly of African ancestry and thus still part of the African extended family, so too are they, who never left Africa still children of Africa as well.
You have to mention the Moors and how the European got there power they have Moorish blood the Moors ruled Europe and civilized them we have to understand different terms and cultures the Africa slave trade is not as big as people calm it was we ruled the world and fought against 1 another and the hybrid Europe came in Sicilians have Moorish blood
🤣🤣🤣my father was from Central Italy in a Umbria from a city called Orvieto the original latins and our descendents are the Etruscans and Latiums which formed Rome sorry your are not part of our history. Arabs from Egypt in the continent of Africa and the greeks also helped influence our structure and some of the latin alphabet but nothing else we are the true Romans and we were white and Comrads with the greeks and Egyptians with ups and downs. Stop please stop.
Cartaginians didn't fought the Roman Empire. There was no "empire" at the time. Actually even most of Italy wasn't fully under direct control of Rome, they ruled over an alliance of Italian city-states and allies. And Rome was a republic at the time. So no, no Roman empire at the time of Carthage. Study more and better history.
African people have history all over the world. If you are a HOMO SAPIENS HUMAN you are African. You literally have African saints in Italy, just stop it 🙄

Ranning well and keeping it a has a portion to do with it.
Got to say this Wow she she beautiful
Ethiopia and Somalia weren't Italian colonies
Thanks for watching! They were at one time part of 'Italian East Africa' to quote the colonial name.
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial They were never colonies of Italy. If Italy wanted to name the region Italian East Africa, still doesn't make it Italian East Africa. Get your facts right.
I'm not condoning it, no need to be aggressive. Thanks again for watching and take care.
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial I'm not aggressive. Correct facts are important tough.
I agree
I am a Big fan of Italian_FOOTball (in spite, of: being: "An_Anti_-Imperialist!!!!"!!) and would -Love for:
"Italians, to: "get on better, with black people; "VIA "Soccer" (FOOTball!!)"!!"??"!?
What are you even saying
@@thescrewarchive5283 oh ouch!!
@@thescrewarchive5283 Sorry, I am saying, that: In spite of being an "Anti_Imperialist" and that Italy, can be "incredibly racist/imperialistic"!! I still support_ Italian FOOTie??
I hope this makes @ least, some sense!?
Also too: say; for: "Italians and black people; to: "PRACTICE IN_ Playing FOOTie, together!!"!!"??
@@m.k.s.7417 -- Many people are going to be offended by your comment because it perpetuates that white people only see Black people as entertainment -- sports, music, art -- or people to exploit for cheap labor but don't genuinely see Black people's humanity, nor see black people as equal to themselves and deserving of the same things in life, nor as intelligent, nor as simply deserving the basic human right to pursue life, liberty, happiness, and the best for themselves and their families.
@@rosalindwalker9277 thanks for your reply. Apologies for any miss understandings. My "Communication style/lack there of": is not that great?? I did not mean it, to come across in such a way/as such.
Hello...just want take to some time to make my opinions to your posting...North Africa was colonized by Greece and Rome. Many of the peoples in that area's may have been called African but were of Mediterranean/Semitic decent. Carthage and Phoenicians are their decedents. Lets get it right!!! Same for the Generals or Emperors you elude to are not of Black African decent. Severus was not of sub-Saharan or Black African decent. Its so evident. ....Why do you keep saying this??? ( look at there busts or the other Roman Figures.. st .Benedict was not a Moor but a came from an African Slave family.........what books are you reading???????? Sorry for my tone. Please refer to the coinage, frescos, Art and Figures in those times...all Caucasian/Mediterranean looking people....
Thanks for watching and for commenting 🤗
@Popcorn Jack agreed!!!!!
The Punic peoples of Carthage were originally Phoenician, but the Native North Africans, the Amazigh are NOT semitic people and their languages are not part of the Semitic brach of Afro-Asiatic. Amazigh are just as African as Congolese. Africa is a continent of great linguistic, cultural and physical diversity. Even Sub Saharan Africans show a great range of diversity in skin tones, facial structures and body types. You get the San and Khoi people, many of whom are are light as the Rifis you find in the Atlas to the darkest of the dark brown in parts of Senegal, they are all African. As for the term Moor, look up the history of the word. It's meaning and connotation has changed depending on geographic location and time period. In some places and times it was referred to Muslims in general. At other times, North Africans in general, regardless of skin tone and at other times, it was applied to Africans in general. This is why it was customary to play the role of the Moor Othelo in black face until recent times in the Opera.
@@TRUTHTEACHER2007 smh.....North Africans have been invaded and colonized long before Carthage entered the picture...Vandals, A roman republics, Greeks, Phoenicians, and the many many other Eurasian, and Caucasians were there for many years......Look at the Punic Sicilian Coinage.....

@@manitheman0806 There have been invasions, colonizations and migrations, that is true. But before all these people came, the Amazigh were there. When those people left, the Amazigh were still there. The Vandals came in the Middle Ages, but to very specific areas, not all of it. The Arabs came and left their language. The majority of people we call Arabs there are ARABIZED Amazigh. They are still Africans because they never left. When you listen to their music, when you look at the way they dance, when you look at their folk spiritual traditions, that exist parallel to Islam, you are looking at another part of the African World. They are Africans and just because they may not look like what some European scholars may think an African should look like doesn't change this fact. There are many ways to be African and many ways to look African. The Amazigh are Africans. Just as the fact that I have Jewish, European, Native American etc ancestry doesn't change the fact that I am predominantly of African ancestry and thus still part of the African extended family, so too are they, who never left Africa still children of Africa as well.
You have to mention the Moors and how the European got there power they have Moorish blood the Moors ruled Europe and civilized them we have to understand different terms and cultures the Africa slave trade is not as big as people calm it was we ruled the world and fought against 1 another and the hybrid Europe came in Sicilians have Moorish blood

🤣🤣🤣my father was from Central Italy in a Umbria from a city called Orvieto the original latins and our descendents are the Etruscans and Latiums which formed Rome sorry your are not part of our history. Arabs from Egypt in the continent of Africa and the greeks also helped influence our structure and some of the latin alphabet but nothing else we are the true Romans and we were white and Comrads with the greeks and Egyptians with ups and downs. Stop please stop.
You look so beautiful in your African Dress. Thank you for taking our culture to places
Never ever 🇪🇹
Thank You Dear Black Queen 💎👑
I am enjoying your work from Cameroon Central Africa
Cartaginians didn't fought the Roman Empire.
There was no "empire" at the time.
Actually even most of Italy wasn't fully under direct control of Rome, they ruled over an alliance of Italian city-states and allies.
And Rome was a republic at the time.
So no, no Roman empire at the time of Carthage.
Study more and better history.
Thank you for watching and commenting Daniele
There is no afro italian history. It is simply italian history
