There is a myth, that the Greeks are indigeneous in Italy, descending from the ancients colonists of Magna Graecia.
Let's have a look about their real nationality:

Point taken, Zeus10!

I think that even the name of Albanian "colony" of Piana dei greci (Plain of Greeks) tells what did mean to be 'Greek' in southern Italy. "Greci" was equivalently with 'Albanesi'...it was used interchangeable for all the time. That's why Piana dei greci passed naturally into 'piana degli albanesi'.
