Romania: The Little Italy

Romania: The Little Italy

Validating hypotesis is not as difficult as it sounds... Seasoned travellers should be easily be able to grasp these concepts. Romania, a country of beautiful landscapes, is located in the middle of Slavic Europe. After the fall of the Greek, the Romans established themselves in a garrison with the cohabitation of the native Dacians and the Roman colonists. The Roman garrison were used to to resists invasions from the Russian Zars, becoming the first border of heavy resistance.

In the Middle Ages, the Kingdom of Romania resisted the Ottoman Empire invasions. Amongst the most legendary icons is Vlad III of Wallachia (Vlad the Impaler - Dracul). In a fortress in the midst of Transylvania, Vlad resisted the Ottoman invasions time after time, impaling the enemies once killed to send a clear message to the enemies. When Ottoman soldiers showed up in future invasions, the bodies to their desceeds comrades would fill them with fear. Bram Stocker used his figure to inspire him for his novel "Dracula". Interestingly enough, Bram Stocker never visited Transylvania and imagined this area to be gloomy and cloudy. Transylvania is actually a very sunny and beautiful area. 

Consider the case of the Gypsies (Romfolk). Though many have Romanian passports, they represent an ethnical group spread across Europe. Being a Gypsy does not make you Romanian, beign Romanian does not make you a gypsy!

Romanians (generally speaking) resemble italians physically, romanian language remains as the living language closest to the original latin, Italian music is as popular as ever, and many romanians dream of going (back?) to Italy!!! The case of Romania exemplifies how culture is preserved even after centuries, when a Roman Empire Garrison to fence invasions preserves authentic latin culture even if surrounded by slavic countries!!! Mind blowing!!!
