Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!
The titile page for the Amantea Italy birth records I have been working with reads:
Provincia Di Calabria Citeriore
Translation:
Province of Calabria - What does Citeriore mean? This word is not in my dictionary. Can anyone (I'm sure Suanj knows) explain what this means?
Hi Debbie, in the past, Calabria region(and also other regions) are "Calabria Citeriore and Calabria Ulteriore"(Calabria North and Calabria south), but in recent past this names of region they were cancels why the region was unified and call simply Calabria
