Italo-Greeks, the name applied to the Greeks in Italy who observe the Byzantine Rite. They em- brace three clas.scs: (1) the ecclesiastical communities which have followed the Greek Rite since the Byzan- tine period; (2) the Greek colonies in the various maritime cities and at Rome; (3) the descendants of the Greeks and Albanians who emigrated en masse into Southern Italy after the Turkish occupation of the Balkans, and established towns, or at least formed powerful groups by themselves; they long maintained their native language and customs, and even now observe the Greek Rite, though in other respects they have been absorbed in the Italian popu- lation.
(1) As to the first class, it is difficult to say whether the Greek Rite was followed in any diocese of South- ern Italy or .Sicily before the eighth century. But the gradual hellenization of those regions, as well as the founding of numerous Greek monasteries, must have afTected liturgical life. The spread of Greek monasticisni in Italy received a strong impulse from the Saracenic invasion of Palestine and Egypt, and later from the Iconoclastic persecutions. The monks naturally retained their rite, and as the bishojis were not infrequently chosen from their ninnbcr, the diocesan liturgy, imdcr favoiu'able conditions, could easily be changed, especially since the Lom- bard occupation of the inl-ind regions of Southern Italy cut off the (ireeks in the South from communi- cation with the Latin Church, whose intellectual cul- ture, moreover, was far inferior to that of Byzantium.
