Provincia Di Calabria Citeriore

Post by VaDeb »

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?

Thanks in advance.

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

Thanks Suanj. I should have thought more about the historical changes of the region. Thanks for the information.
