In Australia our prime minister is half Italian and his name is Tony Albanese - his surname meaning "Albanian" in Italian would indicate an Arbereshe origin.
@user-er3bx8qb1j Albania is not a latin name. Alban or Albanoi was called an illyrian tribe living in Durres area. That is where does the name Albania come from.
@@Alistir_TheChessPlayer I'd say it came from a proto Indo European word "alp" meaning mountain as in the European ALPS or it could come from the Latin "Alba" meaning "white" because of the white snow on the mountains!
We use Mirëdita in Albania too, but it would be the equivalent of the Italian "Buon Pomeriggio", however you can still use it as a general greeting before evening.
I live in US but lived nine years in Italy. Thiis brought back many good memories. Met Arbereshe from Calabria and Piana degli Albanesi in Sicily. They are Catholics but many belong however to the Italo-Albanese Rite - similar to Orthodox.
because they where orthodox greeks... and it was called piana dei greci prior to mussolinis and the popes intervention... they where forced to change confession and have been albanized... the itallians always used Albania as proxy against the Greeks... same as turkey... both want more influence in the eastern mediteranean... this is high chess geopolitics which is going on since the roman era... back in 1870 when the arbaresh people knew what they where they asked greece to accept them back to flee the catholic church opression ... of course greece and kapodistrias accepted them as greeks at that time... thhey who didnt leave accepted to change confession and where brainwashed to a false albanian identity ... Albania didnt exist back then but they where albanized nevertheless. Later italian Nazis used the Albanians and the CHAMS to invade Greece during the WW2 but they lost the war... you Arbaresh need to wake up and start asking some questions to your elders... some of them might know... but most likely those who really know what happened are long gone...
You guys were calling yourself Romans all the way up to the 20th century. Why did it took a Bavarian kind and the Arvanitas population for you people to find your “Hellenic” ancestry? Mussolini is been dead for over 80 years so why are the Arbëreshë still claiming to be from the old Albania and why do they not speak Greek? Can you understand their language, because I can. You modern Greeks, are nothing more than Turks with crosses around your necks. That’s why a lot of you guys look more middle eastern than European in the face. lol

Great job brother! If you go a bit back by a few thousand you will find that probably 80% of Italians are pelasgo/Illyrian. Etruscans that wrote on the stone, the whole region of Tuscany (Tosk in south of Albania), the old Albanian royalty families of Trieste, etc. Rome, Paris and many other so called new cultures in Europe are no other than Illyrian tribes - as a result Arberor/Albanian.
Ciao! A noi è sembrato di capire che loro si considerino Arbëreshë, e non più albanesi o più italiani. Si tratta di una cultura nata nel territorio dell'antica Arberia e trasferitasi in Italia dove è sopravvissuta per secoli, andando ad unire due grandi culture - quella dell'Arberia e quella dell'Italia. Per questo crediamo che gli Arbëreshë si sentano appunto un mix tra le due culture: italiani in quanto vivono in Italia, parlano italiano, e seguono usi e costumi italiani per molte delle loro attività giornaliere, ma anche "albanesi" in quanto mantengono molti degli aspetti culturali (lingua, musica, arte, ecc.) della loro terra d'origine - l'Arberia. - Davide
@@TravelDialogues in realtà a mio avviso lo si evince bene quando dice "siamo italiani perchè viviamo in Italia, abbiamo la cittadinanza italiana, tanto di rispetto per l'italia, però siamo ARBËRESHË per identità e cultura, e siamo fratelli degli attuali albanesi, perchè abbiamo la storia e il sangue che ci lega, se presenti un italiano ad un albanese te lo saluta, ma se presenti un arbreshe ad un albanese si toglie dal letto di casa per far dormire un arbereshe"... più chiaro di così, non saprei, credo che queste parole non lascino molto spazio ad interpretazioni. 👋
@@giulioBonati Esatto, io nonostante sia pugliese non conosco questa comunita nello specifico, ma ho amici "Arbëreshë" calabresi, che prima di tutto si senteno italiani e calabresi nati in famiglia Arbëreshë, infatti sentire questo individuo qua mi ha un pò sorpreso a dir il vero. 👋
tu hai parlato con "qualcuno" se vuoi sapere davvero chi sono ce ne una intera literatura dal Variboba, De Rada, Schiro, Gaetano, e etc. O da Coetanei Altimari in Calabria ed Mandala in Sicilia tutte e due professori Arbereshe..
Thank you for your deep comment and for understanding the point of the video. Arbëreshë people came to Italy many centuries ago. As you can see from the video, at this point in history they consider themselves Italians (they live in Italy after all, they speak Italian, and many of their everyday life activities are exactly the same as any other Italian person) and Albanians (they come from an area of the Balkans that included modern day Albania and other regions from other Balkan countries, many of them still speak an older version of the Albanian language, and many of their cultural traditions are still tied to their motherland). So yes, it's not fair to just say that they're Italians or Albanians. Their beautiful culture and identity is more complex than that and it's only fair to say that they're Arbëreshë.
@@TravelDialoguesthey are pure Albanians.. and from Arbëreshe came the must innumerable operas of Albanian renaissance.. i recommend you Gaetano Petrota. Or many Arbereshe Writers.. and Arbereshe means Albanian.. Arber is our Ethnic name, Arbëreshe for Italians. Arvaniti for Greeks, Arnavut for the Turks(who still call us one that way), Arbanski for the Slavs, Arbiniśi for the Romanians and so on.. stop with those stupid videos..
Arbereshe are Albanian. In the video thumbnail it says neither Italian nor Albanian. Arbereshe escaped from Albania to Italy like cowards from the Ottoman Turks. Arbereshe are pure Albanians but cowards.
@@canadian6167 It's total cowardice, arbereshe escaped to Italy, arvanites to Greece and than others converted to Islam. So overall there was a cowardice amongst the Albanian population. From escape to betraying their faith.
@@Fred-e3z9h Ok clown greco-slavs, stop hating. Arberesh, Arvanites, Albanians were the only race willing to fight and they did, unilke greko-slavs who collaborated from the beginning with the Ottomans, even giving their daughters to the Sultans for wives and became their vassals. Arberesh were not cowards, they fought all the way to the end, even when they went over to Italy, they were fighting the Ottomans there, when they tried to pass over and because of Arberesh, they were stopped. It was thanks to Skanderbeg and to the Arberesh/Albanians that Ottomans didn't take over West as well, why Skanderbeg's monuments and busts are being erected all over Europe.. Also, Arvanites of Greece didn't go there at the time of Ottomans, they were there before time and centuries before and the only ones fighting against the Ottomans. As the Greek author historian tell us in his book about the 'History of Athens'. Spiridhon Llambro, in the book: History of the City of Athens! 'The Albanian leader Petros Bua and the "Greek" lord Manuel Kandakuzinos planned an Albanian state in the Peloponnese! The Albanians of More were the only race skilled in arms and lovers of freedom.' 'The last chapter of the history of the Peloponnese. In it, the Albanians, the only race of the peninsula, rebelled in 1453 against the despots, because they still had a love for arms and freedom. Thirty thousand of them fought, first under the leadership of Petros Boua, and then under the ambitious "Greek" ruler Manuel Kandakouzinos, so that their heroic countrymen, Georgios Valtsos, Joannis Spata, would have succeeded as in Albania like Arianitis and Skenderbeg the Great, respectively with the creation of an independent Albanian state in the Peloponnese.' Also, not all Albanians converted and even those who did, still continued to rebel agains the Ottoman Empire and this is recorded history. In all the fake countries around us, there would be non of them without the Albanians and thanks to Albanians. Stop talking out of your annus and start reading more.

Spiridhon Llambro, in the book: History of the City of Athens!
'The Albanian leader Petros Bua and the "Greek" lord Manuel Kandakuzinos planned an Albanian state in the Peloponnese! The Albanians of More were the only race skilled in arms and lovers of freedom.'
'The last chapter of the history of the Peloponnese. In it, the Albanians, the only race of the peninsula, rebelled in 1453 against the despots, because they still had a love for arms and freedom. Thirty thousand of them fought, first under the leadership of Petros Boua, and then under the ambitious "Greek" ruler Manuel Kandakouzinos, so that their heroic countrymen, Georgios Valtsos, Joannis Spata, would have succeeded as in Albania like Arianitis and Skenderbeg the Great, respectively with the creation of an independent Albanian state in the Peloponnese.'
Also, not all Albanians converted and even those who did, still continued to rebel agains the Ottoman Empire and this is recorded history. In all the fake countries around us, there would be non of them without the Albanians and thanks to Albanians. Stop talking out of your annus and start reading more.
