Gallicianò

Gallicianò is considered the only place in Bovesia where the inhabitants speak Greek as their mother tongue. Despite the initial shyness (also due to the persecution of the Calabrian Greeks during Fascism), the elders of the area soon became familiar with the stranger and and told of unique aspects of the place. The town has recently been renovated. A Byzantine church (della Panaghìa) has been reconstructed where the Orthodox liturgy takes place, as well as a small Greek theatre for summer performances, the museum of rural civilization, built inside a house where the furniture has been preserved since the time in which broom and wood were used for furnishings. There are also some typical taverns in Gallicianò where you can taste delicious Greek cuisine.
