most dominant and prestigious vernacular for writing and for educated communication in Italy today. The first official document in the vernacular in Italy was the “Placito di Capua”, which dates back to the second half of the 10th century.

today. The vast difference in change has been beneficial in my opinion. The Italian migration is form 1946-1980. This was from the lack of work at Italy and the gold rush in Australia.

During the period 1830-1870 there were many different debates as to whether or not Italy should be a unified country and what type of government they would be ruled by.

Before Italian unification was achieved, Italy had been divided into several states, which were dominated by Austrian authority.

1dolomites. I have been lucky enough to visit Northern Italy several times in the last few years. I speak some Italian, and while visiting Lake Garda, I heard people speaking a different language then standard Italian. That language is Ladin.
