MYSTERY WORDS
THAT DEFINE
OUR ESSESNCE
The Welsh word "Hiraeth".
A concept of longing for a place which you can’t return to.
Not necessarily a house, but a homely feeling such as love. Many Welsh people claim 'hiraeth' is a word which cannot be translated. To some, it implies the meaning of missing a time, an era, or a person.It is associated with the bittersweet memory of missing something or someone, while being grateful of that/ their existence.
The Italian word "Campanilismo".
This signifies pride in your home town.
Campanilismo is a very important aspect of life in Italy symbolizing a sense of identity, of pride, and of belonging to the place of your birth, a feeling which is usually much stronger to an Italian than any sense of national identity. Although there is a documented negative side to it, if taken in the right spirit , it is indeed a great word that makes us believe in "Homeland pride" as a rich sense of community and local identity.
