Argentina's Italian bloodline

Buenos Aires, Argentina, is the most-visited city in all of South America. And no visit is complete without a trip to La Boca, a colorful neighborhood that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries experienced a massive wave of Italian immigration. Today an estimated 62% of Argentinians claim some Italian heritage. Correspondent Conor Knighton gets a taste of Buenos Aires' best pizza, gelato and Italian liqueurs, and surveys the imprint that Italian immigrants had on Argentina's art and culture.

Italians in argentina call themselves "tanos", but it's not slang for "italianos" as the video suggests. It actually comes from "napuliTANO", which means "Neapolitan", because many Italian immigramts came from the southern region around Naples.

[@romycullen17]

no it's used for italians in general italian-argentinean here

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Actually, the Italian migration in Argentina was pretty even compared to that of the US, where most of the Italian immigrants came from Southern Italy particularly Sicily. The first wave of immigrants actually came mostly from the Northern regions of Italy, like Piemonte, Liguria, Lombardia, and Veneto. Popular dishes in Argentina like the pascualina, faina and copetin came from Liguria, the mortadella came from Emilia-Romagna, and the milanesa (cotoletta) came from Lombardia though it is originally an Austrian dish. The second wave of Italian migration was actually mostly from the South like Campania, Sicilia, Puglia, and Calabria.

The Italians who migrated to South America were lucky they were accepted. In America the biggest Mass lynching at one time was 11 Italians in New Orleans in 1891.

I always found it fascinating when I studied Behavioral Science and International Relations in college how these migration patterns developed. Like how millions of Italians went to Argentina as did the Irish to the USA in the early days of immigration to the American continent. The Spanish did the same in Cuba to a lesser extent and the same goes for the British, French and Germans respectively to the USA and Canada. I understand that there are still small communities of people that kept their language and culture from prior generations and are alive and well throughout LatAm. Places like northern Mexico and Nicaragua, San Vito CR, Santo Domingo DR, San Carlos de Bariloche, southern Chile and Brazil, etc...

Actually the current Pope grew up speaking Piedmontese, not italian: His father was Italian from the Piedmont region and His mother was first generation Piedmontese Argentine. Through mid XIX to mid XX Centuruies, most argentines were either first or second generation immigrants descendants, or foreign born children naturalized as citizens and raised in Argentina, learning Argentine Castilian either at school or serving in the military, after the Government established two (2) years of Military Conscription for all 18 year old Citizens.

One day we should organize a sort of "Italian Day" for all the people around the world that have Italian heritage. Maybe even some kind of organization to strengthen our bounds.

Tango is an influence of hundreds of nationalities. One of them being italian music, vals, but also cuban rythms as well as african and even brazilian dances such as xango.
