History
Pre-colonial history
Little is known about the prehistoric Ionio. Some archaeological finds have shown human presence about 40,000 years BCE. It is assumed that these humans were hunter-gatherers and lived in small communities.
Archaeological experts have found remains of the Tengrol Empire. Although the Tengrol Empire collapsed about 200 CE as the people of this empire were nomads, but it is assumed that there are perhaps more causes that led to the collapse of this empire. The presence of the Tengrol people continues today in Ionio where a small minority of the descendants of the Tengrol people live.
Colonial period
In 700 Aroman colonists (specifically, Arakhóran) arrived from the Aurelian Empire which in the present day corresponds to Kirvina. They founded the coastal trading cities of Sibarha (Σιβαρά), Tarassa (Ταραccα), and Miróia (Μιρόια). They maintained a presence as part of the Aurelian Empire's eastern provinces. With the presence of the Aroman settlers were imported knowledge of mathematics, metalworking, architecture, science along with the breeding of cattle, pigs, horses and different plants for agriculture.
By 1200s CE, their influence began to recede, and they were conquered by local tribes. These tribes founded the Kingdom of Sila, a ‘melting pot’ state on their former location. With the formation of this kingdom begins a slow process of integration between the tribal cultures and the culture of the colonies of the Aurelian Empire. The period of maximum expansion of the kingdom dates back to about 1323 - 1443 where this kingdom had an intense economic and social activity.
The duration of this reign lasted until 1500, when Sila went through a period of rapid economic decline. Because of its mostly isolationist policy, this led to a collapse of civilization. The remaining city-states were weak and constantly at war with each other. These continuous struggles have provoked a weakening of the various city states becoming prey for future colonizers.
In 1520 came the explorer mantellan Marco Caboto who landed on the coasts of Ionian but which were uninhabited. When he returned to his homeland I indicated the presence of uninhabited lands that can be colonized. Then an expedition for the colonization of these new lands started and on July 4, 1520 the first settlers arrived who founded the city of Tropea and the mantellan colonization of Ionio begins.
The exploration began and the settlers met the indigenous peoples and the various city states that were at war with each other. Mantellan's army took advantage of this situation to gain as much ground as possible. This war with the indigenous people lasted until 1550 when the last indigenous city fell and Ionian Mantella was founded. During this period the colonizers imposed the culture and religion of Mantellan. This process encountered many obstacles but during the seventeenth century the Cristinese language became the language that everyone spoke and the official religion was Christian Apostolic. The times of the various earlier cultures were converted into basilicas and churches. This process was sped up as the mantellan government sent experts in culture, architecture, scientists to Ionium to educate people about the new culture. The cities underwent a process of restructuring by adding Renaissance and Baroque elements. Although this process characterized the main culture of Ionian, the management of the colony by Mantellan and the various policies adopted by the various governors was increasing the discontent of the population.
During the eighteenth century the ideas of the Enlightenment arrived in Ionio and began to spread quickly among the high local population. The philosophy of the Enlightenment is considered the catalyst of the Ionian War of Independence as the population was unhappy with the new taxes that the governor Antonio De Santis had applied.

Ionio had a development with different styles of architecture. The first cities founded by settlers were based on Renaissance architecture but over time there have been different styles of construction.
During the colonial period, castles and palaces were built. Many Mantellan architects such as Luigi Cannavaro came to Ionio to teach their styles to local architects. These cultural exchanges made it possible to create original styles in Ionio where pre-colonial elements were mixed with the elements of the various Europan architectural styles.
During the XXX the first skyscrapers were built and after the XXX Art Deco spread. At the same time, Futurism Architecture which ended at the end of XXX but resumed with other types of style such as Googie architecture, New Formalism, Mid-century modern architecture, High-tech architecture and Neo-futurism.
Visual Art and Literature

Visual art and pre-colonial literature was saved and is still available today. With the arrival of the Mantellan settlers, there was a radical change. Mantellan artists came to Ionio to teach local artists and there was a mixing with indigenous culture with Europan culture, creating numerous works of art. During the period of the war of independence, the visual art and literature were used as propaganda messages and to inspire nationalist poems.
When Ionio was hit by the industrial revolution, the style of Verismo where many novels were made. Also, the genre of Adventure. When the Futurism movement exploded, many writers and painters became interested in this movement. The Futurist movement together with the Art Deco movement heavily influenced the Ionian culture that still persists today, although only a few key concepts are used and readapted to the modern context. In modern times there is no one genre but more subgenres that it is difficult to understand a dominant genre.

From folk music to Classical music, music is an intrinsic part of Ionian culture. Thanks to the Mantellan settlers, Europan musical instruments were imported and local musical artists managed to create music by combining local elements with Europan elements. Since in Mantella is the birthplace of Mantellan Opera has also spread in Ionio with the formation of internationally renowned musicians.
The Ionian music scene changed rapidly with the introduction of new musical styles such as jazz, progressive rock and other musical genres of new conception.
Ionio contributed to the development of disco and electronic music, with Ionio disco, known for its futuristic sound and prominent use of synthesisers and drum machines, being one of the earliest electronic dance genres. By the latter half of the 1990s, a subgenre of Ionio Dance emerged. Taking influences from Ionio disco and Ionio House, Ionio dance generally included synthesizer riffs, a melodic sound, and the usage of vocoders. Since 2010 the Synthwave genre is spreading which is a musical genre based mainly on music associated with the soundtracks of action, science fiction and horror films of the 80s. Other influences are drawn from the art and video games of the decade. Synthwave musicians often espouse nostalgia for the culture of the 80s and attempt to capture the atmosphere of the era and celebrate it.
Today, Ionian pop music is represented annually with the Sibari Music Festival and EurthVision Song Competition. Many singers like Lucia Ramos, Ettore Capone are world-famous singers.
