Should Sicily unite with Greece?

Likewise because the height measured for the Albanian sample was between the ages of 20-29. There is even a link to the study if you bothered to look.

Between the ages of 20-29 in 2008 would mean they were born in the 80s, being born as late as 1988 and had their formative years in the 1990s.

As I understand it, Southern Italy was remarkably indifferent to Italian unification. Regional identity trumped any kind of national identity in Italy in that era. Not sure if it's still true. Economic problems associated with unification precipitated a large exodus from Southern Italy (many of them came to America).

The widespread presence (and possibly predominance) of the Greek language in Southern Italy continued even into the Byzantine era. Latinization was by all means very gradual. With the exception of the Griko people, it is entirely Italianized now, of course. The bottom line is Southern Italy has a unique heritage that includes significant connections to both the Italic & Hellenic peoples (the same can be said of Rome itself).
