Greeks in Italy

Country

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

Greek presence in Italy begins with the migrations of the old Greek Diaspora in the 8th century BC, continuing down to the present time. There is an ethnic Greek minority known as the Griko people, who live in the Southern Italian regions of Calabria and Puglia, (the old Magna Graecia region) that speak a distinctive dialect of Greek called Griko. They are believed to be remnants of the ancient and medieval Greek communities, who have lived in the south of Italy for centuries. Alongside this group, a smaller number of more recent diaspora migrants from Greece lives in Italy, forming an expatriate community in the country.
