Talk:Abruzzo/Archive 1

Natives of (the) Abruzzo/i
Removed list, which is even less complete than what we have elsewhere on Wikipedia, and replaced it by link to Category:Natives of the Abruzzo; among the beauties of the Category system is that it avoids barren and ever-lengthening lists on article pages, and that it updates automatically. St. Gabriel by the way was not an Abruzzese, but was born in Assisi. Bill 17:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Link to page about Atri
I added a page Atri, Abruzzo, but when I do a search in Wikipedia for "Atri", this reference does not come up. There is an article on a Greek god named "Atri". I have now found a stub for "Atri, Italy". I would like to know how to remove "Atri, Italy" to establish, Atri Abruzzo as the initial main article and to have it indexed so that the page is found in a search. Is this possible?

Map is wrong
Regione_abruzzo_3.svg is wrong. It seems to comprehend Province of Isernia also, which is instead part of Molise. Can someone correct?--Gspinoza (talk) 17:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I corrected it myself. --Gspinoza (talk) 13:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Missing word

 * The 2009 L'Aquila earthquake on 6 April 2009 led to a sharp economic slowdown, whose recovery, according to experts, is still rather.

There's a word missing at the end, isn't there? I would give it a shot but I cannot even guess what the word (presumably some adjective) might be. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 11:29, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Location
The "Abruzzi" were often referred to as part of the Mezzogiorno,  literally meaning half-day, a term used mainly to describe the Southern Italy. However, all of Abrusso's major cities are north of Rome as is at least three-quarters or more of Abruzzo's land mass. Thus, georgraphically there is no doubt that Abruzzo is in Central Italy. Why does the geographical confusion remain about Abruzzo's location? Molise the southern part of the Abruzzi does lie for the most part south of Rome, which perhaps is why the Abruzzi was often considered part of Italy's South. But with over 40 years since Abruzzo and Molise were split, the failure to recognize what is obvious from any map of Italy -- that Abruzzo is in Central Italy -- is odd to say the least. Some believe this stems from historical biases linked to the region's past poverty, a poverty shared by Italy's South. -- User:SilviaManno

Other places in wikipedia list it as southren as well as the Italian Census

Abruzzo is considered il mezzogiorno because it was part of the Kingdom of Naples along with the rest of the southern part of the peninsula. It is historically and culturally distinct from Rome (although north of Rome geographically) and from Le Marche and Umbria. Rome, Umbria and Le Marche collectively constituted the "Papal States". The regione was apparently referred to as "mezzogiorno" (noon in Italian) by Garibaldi who conquered the Kingdom of Naples in 1860/61. Interestingly in Italy this region is also called Italia meridionale or il Meridione which actually means southern or south. Avvocato48 18:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I think Abruzzo is suffering a simular fate as a the US State of Virginia where it is a southen state for two reasons one it belonged to another country the confedercy just as Aburzzo was part of the kingdom of namples and just as Virginia appears to be a centeral state it still has a very southren coluture.

Also my family's immigration records list them as being southren and they are from Abruzzo Nerdinthebasement 01:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I am from Abruzzo and I can tell you that this region is part of central Italy! I would like to remind you that the story does not determine the geographical location, then the header of this page is wrong.--Paolo Salazar (talk) 01:20, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

History section needs revision
The current history section is difficult to follow and tends to concentrate overly on the origin of the region's name. Suggest that the history section needs to be revised. For example this link http://www.calascio.com/abruzzohist1.htm shows the sort of information and layout that would be better to read and more focused on the actual history of Abruzzo.
