Greek Language Brings Together Scholars and Greek-Speaking Communities in Southern Italy

The enduring legacy of the Greek language was celebrated in the heart of Grecia Salentina, the historic Greek-speaking region of Italy's Salento Peninsula, where the Hellenic heritage of Southern Italy remains alive and the Griko language continues to be spoken.

The 10th Conference on "Modern Greek Language and Literature Beyond Greece's Borders" was held under the auspices of the Embassy of Greece in Rome, bringing together academics, researchers, and members of the local Greek-speaking communities.

Organized by the Italian Association of Modern Greek Studies (ANSN) from 24 to 26 June, the conference once again demonstrated that the Greek language continues to transcend national borders, serving as a bridge between cultures and fostering dialogue, scholarship, and shared cultural heritage.
