I wrote an interesting post in my opinion Blog, ARCANA INTELLEGO, . Here, I'd like to show you an Italian Rapper sings about FAIDA , the private war between 2 families. 10 years ago, in a carnivalo Fest' in S: LUCA, a little town in Calabria some boys makes some jokes to others boys. This episodie tranformated in discussion between 2 families, after that one, only a month after, has been the first murder. Today 6 killed in Duisburg, Germany (Where Italian National Soccer made his training before world cup)

Yeah, this artist is born near my home, between Rome and Florence: UMBRIA, where mafia doesn't exist. But exist a sort of " Mafious' culture". I think it is bad , very bad: no violence, but black affairs, nepotism, corruption ( not in evidence, but as a 'good capitalist country')... I'm very regret with that thing.

Ciao!
When I first heard the word 'faida' and saw references to it in Australian newspapers a couple of days ago, I said to my wife: this looks like it relates to the German word 'Fehde'...
I speculated that it might have come from the time the Hohenstauffen reigned in Sicily and Calabria.
Today I Googled for the word and found the Italian entry in Wikipedia: indeed it derives from the old German fehida (Fehde). The Wikipedia article gives a good overview over the beginnings of the practice among the Germanic tribes, and cites heaps of learned references - but it is written in Italian and I can't follow it all :-)
But I can't see any direct argument as to why a Calabrian clan or two should have preserved such a once semi-legal remedy to obtain satisfaction. Why would this be? Is it widespread on Calabria? Or is it tacitly reserved for the native underworld?
Io non c'entro...
Saluti,
LMH

FIRST OF ALL YOU EXCUZE MY ENGLISH: I LIVE BETWEEN ROME AND FLORENCE (500 KM. TO cALABRIA) BUT HERE THERE ARE MANY CALABRESI THAT STUDIES IN MY TOWN IN PERUGIA'S UNIVERSITY. I KNOW SOME OF THEM AND THEIR CULTURE NOW IS NOT VERY DIFFERENT TO OUR, but the problem of Calabria (and Sicilia, Campania -Naples- Puglia and Sardinia) becomes to 170 years ago , when 3 separated Kingdoms fusion in One: Italy, CAVOUR one of principal italia politic born in 1800 ( and inventor of wine's d.o.c. sistem) said: Now Italy is done: the difficult sill be to make Italians. In my country these 3 kingodoms (4-5 if you count the more littles) has different culture, languages, money: Only Catholic Religion was the same... In south of Italy these differences was very big; 99% POPULATION WAS ANALPHABET; in North only 30-40%!! The economy is ONLY based in farms, every family has a little farm, : in the South NOONE family has...nothig: only Big Sir has ALL terrains; Families was only Tenent-farm. This state created very problems: Gangs; hungers, too many Sicilians, Calabreses emigrants in the NEW WORLD (America). They didn't credit to ITALIAN State: in this way "Sirs" become a "state parallel"; the MAFIA.In the time the situation is better, but some state cultural are very difficult to change.... If you want to know more about it You Must see a very important film: "GATTOPARDO": now I'm going to write the link in your Blog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leopard_%28film%29 This is the best explain of the event contibuited NOW to MAFIA and others criminal organizations.
