Hello everyone, I was enticed by Davide's original proposal of "Mediterranean-Slavic", but I'd just say something related to Mediterranean: after all we are all Mediterranean, or at least I feel very much like that, and I think that many traits in the culture and way of life in several zones of, say, Eastern Europe share the very same grounds as those you can find in, say, Southern Italy. More generally, I personally support the idea that our history has been shaped by geography much more than genetics, or any nationality/race arguments, but this could be rather off-topic here. Anyway, Mediterranean alone sounds maybe a bit too general; any ideas on this theme? :) (Suggested reading, waiting for futher advice: "Mediterranean" by Predrag Matvejevic, published in English by University of California Press, 1999; in Italian by Garzanti, 2000; etc... you can find out! Nice reading.) Emanuele ============================================================================= MISC-REG-L is hosted on aegeeserv courtesy of AEGEE-Karlsruhe.
