- lnxg33k1 5y agoThe name of the winds in Italy were decided by Greeks that is why the direction they come from have the name according to where they come from mar ionio, so i Guess in Greek each one has the same name of Italian language but in greek
- lnxg33k1 5y agoTo be precise, coming from mar ionio we have a different name for each wind according from the source direction The one from North, where there are mountains is called Tramontana (after the mountain, north, where are are the mountains of alps) The one from north east, Grecale, the one from Greece, that is North east from Mar Ionio The one from East, is levante, where the sun leaves at dawn The one from South East, is Scirocco, because it comes from Syria at South East of Mar Ionio The one from South is Mezzogiorno, as it is direct to South The one from South West is Libeccio, as it comes from the position of Lybia to Mar Ionio The one from West is Ponente, as it is where the sun comes from at sunrise The one from North West is Maestrale (but I haven't understood yet where the names comes from) you don't have that different names for winds according to where they come from?
