Â Italian language - Wikipedia, <bb>>theb>bb>> free encyclopedia

Out of <bb>>theb>bb>> Romance languages, Italian is generally considered to be <bb>>theb>bb>> one most closely resembling Latin in terms of vocabulary, though Romanian most closely preserves <bb>>theb>bb>> declension system of Classical Latin while Sardinian is <bb>>theb>bb>> most conservative in terms of phonology.
<bb>>Theb>bb>> Romans are known for speaking clearly and distinctly, while <bb>>theb>bb>> Tuscan dialect (supposedly influenced by Etruscan and Oscan) is <bb>>theb>bb>> closest existing dialect to Dante's now-standard Italian.
Italian is <bb>>theb>bb>> official language of Italy and San Marino, and is an official language in Switzerland because it's spoken in Ticino and Grigioni cantons.

Â CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Italian Literature

<bb>>Theb>bb>> Italian comedy of <bb>>theb>bb>> Cinquecento is directly imitated from Plautus and Terence, but attempts to adapt <bb>>theb>bb>> plots and characters of <bb>>theb>bb>> Latin playwrights to <bb>>theb>bb>> conditions of life in <bb>>theb>bb>> sixteenth century.
<bb>>Theb>bb>> most important Italian historical work of <bb>>theb>bb>> fifteenth century is <bb>>theb>bb>> "Storia di Milano" of Bernardino Corio (1459-1510), of special value for its minute and vivid picture of <bb>>theb>bb>> reigns of <bb>>theb>bb>> dukes of <bb>>theb>bb>> Sforza family.
No Italian since Petrarch had reached <bb>>theb>bb>> lyrical beauty of his "Canti", in which <bb>>theb>bb>> contrast between <bb>>theb>bb>> past and present of his country, <bb>>theb>bb>> worship of antiquity, political disillusion, hopeless love, and, at length, even <bb>>theb>bb>> contemplation of nature find utterance in sheer despair.

Â Italy - Wikipedia, <bb>>theb>bb>> free encyclopedia

Given <bb>>theb>bb>> high number of languages spoken throughout <bb>>theb>bb>> peninsula, it was quickly established that 'proper' or 'standard' Italian would be based on <bb>>theb>bb>> Florentine dialect spoken in most of Tuscany (given that it was <bb>>theb>bb>> first region to produce authors such as Dante Alighieri, who between 1308 and 1321 wrote <bb>>theb>bb>> Divina Commedia).
<bb>>Theb>bb>> architects of Italian unification were Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, <bb>>theb>bb>> Chief Minister of Victor Emmanuel, and Giuseppe Garibaldi, a general and national hero.
It comprises <bb>>theb>bb>> boot-shaped Italian peninsula, <bb>>theb>bb>> Po River valley, and two large islands in <bb>>theb>bb>> Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia, and shares its northern alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia.

Â Italian language, alphabet and pronunciation

<bb>>Theb>bb>> Italian used was full of Latin words and over time Latin was used less and less as Italian became increasingly popular.
During <bb>>theb>bb>> 13th century such writers as Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), Petrach and Boccaccio were influential in popularising their own dialect of Italian - <bb>>theb>bb>> Tuscan of Florence (la lingua Fiorentina) - as a standard literary language.
Italian is a Romance language spoken by about 60 million people in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, <bb>>theb>bb>> Vatican City, Malta and Eritrea.

Â Welcome to Italy1 Literature page of 13 and 14 Centuries

Unlike Dante and other medieval thinkers such as <bb>>theb>bb>> Italian Scholastic philosopher Thomas Aquinas and <bb>>theb>bb>> French philosopher Peter Abelard, Petrarch was not concerned so much with using <bb>>theb>bb>> material of <bb>>theb>bb>> ancient classical writers for his own purposes as with acting in <bb>>theb>bb>> classical spirit.
<bb>>Theb>bb>> greatest of Italian poets, Dante Alighieri, who had a high regard for Guinizelli, wrote his first book, La vita nuova (1292; <bb>>Theb>bb>> New Life, 1861), in <bb>>theb>bb>> new style.
Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio were <bb>>theb>bb>> first Italian writers to make literary use of <bb>>theb>bb>> Tuscan dialect spoken in Florence, Siena, and other towns of north-central Italy, and they won for it general acceptance as <bb>>theb>bb>> language of culture.
