Just came back from a 2 week trip to Sicilia which included of course Agrigento with its incredible Valley of the temples. where the Temple of Concord continues to impress because of its beauty and impecable conservation. Few people know that the temple´s facade has been adopted as the emblem of UNESCO , World Heritage .
On my mom side I am Calabrese. My grandparents were from a small town located above Locri, on the southern side of the toe. Not too long ago my mother was told she was Greek by a Greek-American Lady when she replied she was Italian the woman said, "No, you're Greek." I guess old bloodlines never fade.
I'm told there are small towns in the hills of Calabria where people still speak a language which is a mixture of Italian and Greek.
