He was among the first researchers of minority cultures in Italy and Europe, anti-fascist, theologian and ethnologist. He studied at the Arb\u00ebresh high school of St. Adrian, in San Demetrio Corone, considered the cradle of the culture and liturgy of the Orthodox Christian rite of the Arb\u00ebresh in Calabria. He took part in the First World War (1915\u20131918) and then moved to Florence, where he graduated in philosophy (1921), further specializing in the history of religions, under Vittorio Machioro. Gangale showed a genuine scientific interest in studying the Arb\u00ebresh language and is considered one of the founders of Arb\u00ebresh linguistics by conducting field research. He visited about forty Arb\u00ebresh municipalities, further narrowing the focus of the study on seven of them. Through these centers, he sought to establish the cultural, ethnological, and linguistic perimeter of a disappearing Arb\u00ebria, but with a &#8220;genuine&#8221; heritage to be persistently preserved. <i>(In the photo: Giuseppe Gangale)<\/i>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text: <\/strong>Center of Studies and Publications for Arb\u00ebresh&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giuseppe_Tommaso_Gangale&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giuseppe Gangale was born, one of the first contributors to preserving Arb\u00ebresh\u2019s identity memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ditelindje"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
