It's a rather well-known Provençal recipe, sometimes (but rarely) referred to as garlic boullion, although, afaik, the French word for garlic is "ail"

aglio is italian, but the dish is not italian. aigo boulido is not aglio bollito, which would be italian and it's not french.
I presume the language is provencal, (sorry, can;t get the accents with this keyboard) which would be a dialect now but once was a language in its own right.
