The Island of Gavári
Gavári is imagined as a small volcanic island in the Pacific about 370 miles southwest of Hawaiʻi. It is comprised of one main island with coastal villages, an active central volcano, and a strong sense of community.
In 1836 an Italian brigantine was shipwrecked off the coast of Gavári with 19 sailors on board. The Gavári natives took them in and the rest is history. While the Austronesian side of Gavári is most prevelant, the influence of Italian can be seen in many of their words. The language reflects that: warm, straightforward, and easy to speak.
