Benvenuti all’Italia. Italian is spoken by over 70 million people in Italy and abroad. Beyond Italy, Italian is an official language in Switzerland, Vatican City, San Marino, Croatia, Slovenia and the European Union. Substantial communities of Italian speakers live in Germany, Monaco, France, Malta, Corsica, Albania, Libya, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia. In North and South America, many Italian immigrant communities speak Italian in addition to their countries’ official languages.
The Italian peninsula is home to hundreds of distinct dialects, but only one of these is recognized as Standard Italian. Standard Italian is based on the Florentine dialect of “the three crowns” of Italian literature — Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, who were the first major figures to write in Italian, rather than the literary Latin of the time. Though regional dialects are still alive in the peninsula, Standard Italian is the official language used by the media, the government, the academy and business, and is understood throughout the country.
Business travelers will find their Italian language skills essential in the fashion and design industries. Proficiency in Italian will enable students of art history, music, architecture and film to explore one of the most influential cultures in their respective fields. And for Chianti enthusiasts and literati alike, a journey through Tuscany is easier to savor when they drink in the local language.
Tourism is one of Italy’s strongest industries, due to the hundreds of archaeological sites and over 2,000 museums found within its borders. According to Unesco, Italy contains more than half of the world’s artistic and historic patrimony. Each year, millions of foreign tourists visit Rome, Venice and Florence in search of archeological and artistic treasures, while others seek out Italy’s hidden corners to discover for themselves la dolce vita.
