🇮🇹 The Italian language we know and love today almost never existed! In this video, I share the heroic origin story of modern Italian, why one particular dialect was chosen as the standard, and the many reasons the language is worth learning. Buckle up: it's a wild ride from vulgar Latin, to Dante devotees, to parliamentary fist fights!
