calimera

Calimera (Καλημέρα, "good morning" in both Greek and Griko) is a small town of 7,296 inhabitants in the Grecìa Salentina area of the Salento peninsula in Italy, located between Gallipoli and Otranto. It belongs to the province of Lecce. The inhabitants of Calimera besides Italian also speak Griko, a linguistic amalgam comprising ancient Greek, Byzantine Greek and Italian elements. Apart from the language, the folklore, traditions and history of Calimera reveal significant Greek influences over the course of time, presumably from the time of the ancient Magna Graecia colonisation in the 8th century BCE. Calimera's motto is "Zeno esù en ise ettù 's ti Kalimera" (in Greek script: Ζένο εσού 'εν είσαι ετού στη Καλημέρα), meaning "You are not a stranger here in Calimera".
