About Us
Did you know that the birth of the Italian language was unexpectedly very recent, dating back to only about 150 years ago? Before that time, each region had its own dialect, such as the “Milanese Dialect” and the “Neapolitan Dialect,” and each of those dialects was dealt with as a separate foreign language. In the midst of this situation, when Italy was unified into a single nation in 1861, the “Florentine Dialect” was given the honor of being designated as the official common language.
