Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Lombards? Che confusione!

July 26, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì.

Episode 7 of our ‘Medievo’ series is ready for you to read/listen to:

Il Medioevo, Episodio 07, Etnie, costumi e religioni. Gli abitanti della penisola nei secoli V, VI e VII

It’s quite an interesting one, touching on how the invading tribes (Longobardi & Franchi) differed from each other, and from the existing Roman/Byzantine inhabitants of the Italian peninsula. Religion was an important factor, but also language, and even architecture.

If you haven’t already begun our FREE Summer Series of thirty articles with audio, you can find them all on our History page.

The stuff on the Romans is from last year, but is well worth a look if you weren’t with us then. Scroll down past that for the Middle Ages.

And if you’re only interested in studying grammar? There are masses of free lessons and exercises on the club website, just waiting to be explored, no registration or password necessary!

    History has always been interesting to me. Actually I understand a fair amount of these articles but please don’t ask me to translate. What I find amazing is that Italy managed to unite as a nation in spite of all these different influences. I think they were just states for a long time. It is all so fascinating. Grazie mille!

      Understanding and translating are two very different things!
