This is presumably Spatari, N. (2003). Calabria, L'enigma Delle Arti Asittite: Nella Calabria Ultramediterranea. Italy: MUSABA. [1] which I got from an article by Farrokh here[2] which says "Cultural links between Anatolia, mainland Greece and southern Italy have been in existence for thousands of years. This cultural system was itself linked first to the ancient Mesopotamian cultures and later to Persia. Nik Spatari (see references) has provided an exhaustive compendium of the artistic and cultural intercourse between the different peoples of the Aegean, pre-Roman Calabrian and Estruscan Italy, Anatolia, and Persia. The term used to summarize this ancient cultural zone is called "Assi-tite" by Spatari." Here is a biography of this artist [3]. Doug Weller (talk) 10:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
