History

Pre-colonial history

Archaeological excavations of an ancient tomb dating back to the Tengrol Empire.

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

The city of Sibari in 1630.

• 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 Aroman Empire's eastern provinces.
• 1200: 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.
• 1500: 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.
• 1520: The first cape settlers arrived, who began the colonization of Ionian.
• 1550: The Ionian Mantella is established.
• 1715: From this moment on, the ideas of the Enlightenment begin to circulate, which will play a catalyst for the war of independence.

Revolution

Proclamation of the Federal Republic of Ionio.

WIP

• 1760: The Ionian War of Independence breaks out. War breaks out because of the discontent between settlers and indigenous people over the high taxes imposed by cape.
• 1768: The Ionian War of Independence comes to life by the rebels. National Assembly is formulated to establish the constitution. After a long debate between monarchists and republicans, a compromise is reached.

Independence

WIP

• 1769: The Federal Republic of Ionio is founded. Mario Bertinotti is elected as President.
• Industrialisation
• Interwar period
• Cold War (?)
• 21st century

Culture

Architecture

The city of Sibari was built trying to exploit the delta of the River Po.

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

The Power of Oil by Gianmarco Lorenzini an exponent of Futurism.

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.

Music

Antonio Moroder pioneer of Ionio Disco and electronic dance music, is known as the "Father of Disco"

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.
