Anyway, collectively--whether in a city or a rural area--they were more pioneer than immigrant, being such great self-determinists.Camunlynxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014252675296665669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374992234413424909.post-17359093797673476342013-08-16T16:52:37.299-07:002013-08-16T16:52:37.299-07:00Yeah, Linda is an honorary Cisalpine.

To this day, a Gallo-Italic dialect is spoken in a part of Sicily.<br /><br />Well, Nizzards and Monaguesques are Ligurians. So they are definitely cisalpines. Istriots are Venets. Ticinese are West Lombards. And, of course, NATIVE latins are culturally Lombard.

There were a few Langobards and Goths who wandered down there, and Naples had been part of the Renaissance culture; but later unfortunately the Spanish monarchy dumped a lot of people there that they didn't want.<br /><br />I tend to think of the native cultures of Latium, Sudtirol, Ticino, south Graubunden, Nice, Istria, Savoia, and Monaco as being closely tied to the Cisalpine cultures in one way or another.
