On March 17, 2016, Italy turned 155 years old.
The history of Italy, during centuries of invasions, conquests, kingdoms, empires, leaves us with a question: what is the origin of her name, Italy?
Finding a single answer seems impossible, in fact, the theories are many, but looking at the map or better traveling through the Italian territory we’ll find Italy punctuated from south to north with towns and cities that have similar names. For example, Bova, Bovalino, Tauranga, Turin, Gioia Tauro, and even my family’s town, Boiano, Bovianum in Latin, (the city of bulls).
Italy as we know her today is definitely not the same as during the age of Magna Grecia, in fact at the time it was only a small area, where they also spoke Greek.
Let’s illustrate it all with this video to understand the meaning of the name, Italy!
Buona visione,

Mirella,
Thanks to you I now know more than I did about the origins of Italy. 155 years old? I would have never guessed. Keep the posts coming.
Thanks. Yes, it's an old territory inhabited by a recent and messy Republic!
