Excerpt from Italian Lessons

The Italian language, as it had been forming in Tuscany, was not adopted for many centuries by the people of other parts of Italy in familiar intercourse. It was preeminently a literary language, created by the great writers of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries, a perfect instrument for the epic stories, for the lyric expression of thought, for the eloquent presentation of questions political, social or philosophical, but ill adapted to the dialogue of everyday life. Such was the Italian language - the language of Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio, perfected by Machiavelli, Tasso and Ariosto. And, with it, the dialects peculiar to each region held tenaciously to their existence: Venetian or Lombardian, Sicilian or Piedmontese, they were hardly understood beyond their provincial limits.

But in the last fifty years conditions have been steadily undergoing many changes and modifications.
