What are the origins of the modern Latin Catholics of the Levant? In today's video we're going to briefly take a look at the origins and motivations behind some of the first crusaders, where they settled and what their fate was over the years, but also looking at some of the Italian Maritime republics such as Genoa, Pisa and Venice, which controlled vast swaths of territory across the Mediterranean and contributed to the small Roman Catholic/Latin communities of the Levant and East Mediterranean, whose descendants are still around to this day in small numbers. What are their connection to the original crusaders and what are their lives like in the 21st century? Let me know your thoughts on the Latin Levantines of this region. Thanks for watching!
