Italian, from the Roman era to today

The history of the Italian really begins with the founding of Rome , in -753 BC.
Created by peoples who lived on the Italian peninsula (Etruscans, Romans and Sabines), Rome was the central point of the conquest of the region.
Some vestiges of ancient Rome: as beautiful as it is mysterious.
By AD 200, the Roman Empire stretched across western Europe. It also possessed a part of Arabia, North Africa and Armenia.
If we talk to you about that, it is because this vast empire allowed the creation of two different languages, although coming from a common base: classical Latin and vulgar Latin.
The first was spoken by the elites. The second by the settlers and the soldiers.
When the Germanic invasions came from the east and weakened the Roman Empire, the split between these two languages ​​was even more brutal.
The instability of the region and the lack of connection between Rome (capital of the Roman Empire) and the rest of the territory made Classical Latin lose importance.
To that, we must add the numerous invasions. Among them, Italy saw the following arrive:
To the Ostrogoths (a Germanic tribe);
The Lombards;
The Franks;
The Muslims;
The Byzantines;
The Normans.
This cultural and linguistic amalgam allowed the different dialects of this time to enrich themselves with new vocabulary. We are then at the dawn of the 10th century.
In the Renaissance, a name made it possible to transform the official language of the Italian region: Dante Alighieri .
This famous poet and writer was the creator of the novel: the Divine Comedy . As he did not want to offer a story only for the elites, he chose to write in Florentine (a form of the Tuscan language), to the detriment of Latin.
This language quickly became the one spoken by the entire population of the region.
Obviously, over the years, it transformed and evolved to become the Italian language we know today.
During the Second World War, Mussolini (the head of the Italian government) carried out a campaign of “purification” of the Italian.
He decided to terrorize linguistic minorities. In addition, he removed all foreign vocabulary from the dictionary.
The end of this period also put an end to this persecution. Italian, from the Roman era to today
