Pozdrav našim bratom iz Rezije!

[Voodoozeko]

Podobnost z Irici je samo v tem, da so Rezijani in Irci po izumu harmonike obdržali violine oz gosli, kot glavni instrument drugače pa irska muzika nima veliko skupnega z Rezijani. Pravzaprav ima irska domača muzika (tu mislim predvsem stil igranja), ki jo poznamo danes izvor šele pri koncu 19 stoletja in začetku 20 stoletja in je dosti drugačna kot tista prava stara irska muzika.

Their music is not of irish or scottish origin. Fiddles were widespread in europe before accordion was invented but after accordion was invented fiddles lost its widespread use in conntinetal europe only more remote villages retain fiddle as main instrument.

very good

[VendPrekmurec]

the original word of Rezia is Rhetia very ancient word "Rhech" "in region Prekmurje we say "rejch" the "word"so people called them self "Rhezianci" people who "speak" I think they have had contacts with so called Celts, Etrustians, Veneti (some people say they are ancestors of modern Slovenians like romans -ancestors of italian people today) You can even find similar music and folklore in Ireland and it is interesting i've heard there were also some unknown tribe in the past named Wendae-vends

May, the 2d 1945 - Near Ovaro partisans attacked the Cossack garrison barracks killing 60 soldiers. A long German column escaping towards italian borders kills whoever they meet for retaliation. They also blow to death the priest of the village, don Pietro Cortiula, sacking the houses. Almost 30 civilians and 10 Georgians fighting together with partisans were killed.

They were subject to the military authority of the SS-commander of the Adriatic Coastline. They settled in Camia as conquerors, regarding the region the Kosakenland in North-Italy.

August 1944-Spring 1945 - 22,000 Cossacks arrived in Friuli in August 1944 and soon in spring 1945 there were 40,000 of them (who owned altogether 6,000 horses and 50 camels). At least 7,000 Cossacks were to leave their homes situated over the Tagliamento river (in Alesso, Bordano and Trasaghis) and they occupied a few villages in Camia.
