    Annotation:

    The majority of the Greek-orthodox colonies of Southern Italy and Sicily rised from emigrants from Greece. Since late seventeenth and in particular the eighteenth century, in most of these initially Greco­phone or bilingual comunities (Hellenophone and Albanophone) the usage of the Albanian idiom of Arvanitika (at the time spoken in some Greek regions) started dynamically to preponderate over Modern Greek. The author ascribes this ethnic transmutation to the accelerated integration of the Grecophones into the Italian environment and their subsequent latinization. In contrast, the Albanophones preserved with obstinacy their religious and cultural traditions.
