Italian term or phrase: fascino delle contaminazioni
A bit of an awkward sentence, I understand they mean their traditions, culture etc has remained intact but was wanting to convey the same feeling and use a more similar sentence. Help much appreciated thanks

fascinating cross-fertilization
Explanation:
Maybe something like "the Arbëreshë people reflect a fascinating cross-fertilization of Italian and Albanian cultures."

I think you should avoid the repetition of "culture" in the Italian.
