Why Is There a Scottish Village In Italy? 🇮🇹
Jump to Connections
274,780 Views • Feb 29, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
The Italian Alps, home to countless quintessential Italian villages…and one not-so traditional. Welcome to Gurro, the Scottish village in Italy.

So what actually makes this village Scottish? Legend has it that the population descended from Scottish soldiers, who stumbled across the area whilst fleeing a battle 500 years ago. But it’s not just their supposed ancestors flying the Scottish flag - the inhabitants today wear traditional tartan, grab drinks in their local Scottish bar and they even mix Scottish into their language…Ay, can you believe it!

These are the Italian locals keeping this delightfully unexpected Scottish tradition alive.

I’m from Scotland. And this makes me so proud and it literally brought a tear to my eye. My great uncle was in WW2 as a pilot and he was transferring food etc to a small village in Italy called Ostana but unfortunately my great uncles planet crashed due to poor weather conditions. The Italian villagers gathered up the remains and made a grave for him and his crew members. They marked them as hero’s and for many years my grandad didn’t know what happened to his brother that night and in 2001 they discovered this. It’s such a beautiful story. God bless the Italians 🩷🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As a Scottish lass myself I can hear our accent in her voice and she even looks like a wee Scottish granny, historically we used songs to pass legends on down through time so it seems plausible... i would love to visit this place ❤

In Scotland there are many Italian families who opened cafes. There are also a number of Scottish people with Italian family backgrounds who became famous like Paulo Nutini, Lewis Capaldi, Peter Capaldi and Nicola Benedetti.

As an italian, sentence construction and some elements of pronounciation in the lady's speech actually remembers me of how english (or scottish in this case I suppose) speaking people tend to speak when they speak italian as foreigners

In my hometown, Piacenza, there is a neighborhood dedicated to Saint Brigid of Ireland, where the city's Scota (gaels) community lived. The most important historical figure of Piacenza is Alberto Scotti, lord of the city between the end of the 1200s and the beginning of the 1300s, and he was of Gaelic origins. Near Piacenza there is the sanctuary with the tomb of Saint Columbanus, and during the Middle Ages it was a pilgrimage destination for all the Gaels who traveled the Via Francigena

As a Brit with parents from Naples we have always been close to the Irish and Scots, we find them similar to us culturally. Forza Napoli 🙏🙏

There’s an Italian village in North Wales that was built between the 20s and 70s, Portmeirion, just outside Porthmadog

I think the local italian women must have really liked the scottish warriors, for them to have such a lasting impact 😄
