Gino's Italy: Secrets of the South
S1 E5 • Pollino
Documentary
Gino D'Acampo heads back to the Basilicata region, this time on horseback, to explore Pollino, the largest national park in Italy. This region is the hilliest in Italy and one of the remote regions where Albanian refugees came to settle 500 years ago, fleeing their Ottoman oppressors. In the village of San Paolo Albanese the descendants of these refugees live in splendid isolation, keeping their culture and language alive through dance and song in their native tongue Arbereshe.
