In this paper we attempt to provide an overview of the cultural complexity present in the Mediterranean area. Beginning with the definition of the word culture, we focus on the pluralistic and multi-faceted entity embraced by the over-arching term of Mediterranean Culture. Our first objective is to highlight some complexities borne of the “cultural diversity of the Mediterranean”; subsequently, we reflect upon obvious disparities proper to the EU in order to better analyse the very question of language.
