The Gallo-Italic of Basilicata (Italian: Gallo-italico di Basilicata) is a group of Gallo-Italic dialects found in Basilicata in southern Italy,[2] that could date back to migrations from Northern Italy during the time of Normans.
These dialects are found in two areas: one near the regional capital of Potenza (in Tito, Picerno, Pignola and Vaglio Basilicata),[3] and another on the Tyrrhenian coast (Trecchina, Rivello, Nemoli and San Costantino).[4]
Similar communities have survived in Sicily, speaking "Gallo-italici di Sicilia" dialects.
