Study Italian in Southern Italy
Southern Italy, often referred to as the Mezzogiorno, encompasses at least four of the country's 20 regions: Basilicata, Campania, Calabria, and Puglia. The name is also applied to a former ecclesiastical province of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Historically, has been exposed to significantly different influences than the rest of the peninsula, and in particular, to Greek settlement and the Arab invasions of Sicily. These factors and others have left their mark on today's Mezzogiorno: population density, for example, is much less compared to Northern Italy, with at the same time a higher proportion of large towns to small villages; wealth and education levels are not as high; and the day-to-day culture of the inhabitants is much more Mediterranean, clan-oriented, rural, and Catholic than that of the more industrialized North.
