6 Informazioni Saluti Italians tend to be more formal than Americans when greeting and addressing each other. Among adults, acquaintances are addressed as signore, signora, or signorina or by their titles: professore(-ssa), dottore, ingegnere, etc. The greeting Ciao!, which has become so popular abroad, is reserved in Italy only for very close friends, members of the family, relatives, and young people. Salve! is also a common greeting. It is slightly more formal than Ciao! but, like Ciao!, it is used for both Hello! and Good-bye! When meeting either friends or acquaintances, as well as in introductions, Italians customarily shake hands, without distinction between sexes.

10 Attualità The Italian Language and Its Dialects The Italian language stems directly from Latin. As the authority of ancient Rome fragmented, its language, Latin, also broke apart and formed several national European idioms. In the same way, numerous linguistic varieties, or dialects, took form within the Italian peninsula. They were the expressions of different centers of civilization within the larger Italian world. The dialect of Tuscany was assured linguistic supremacy by the political importance and geographic position of its principal city, Florence, and above all by the authority of the thirteenthcentury Tuscan writers Dante, Petrarca, and Boccaccio. Each of these men wrote works of major literary significance in their native Tuscan dialect. Eventually, the Tuscan dialect became recognized as the official Italian language. For many centuries, however, the Italian language remained an exclusively literary mode of expression, used only by learned people. The different dialects continued to be spoken, a situation favored by the historical and political fragmentation of Italy, which remained divided into many separate city-states until the second half of the nineteenth century. The local dialect was often the official language of the court of that particular city-state. This was the case in Venice, a republic renowned for the skill of its diplomats. The eighteenth-century playwright Carlo Goldoni, who has been called by critics the Italian Molière, wrote many of his plays in Venetian. For example, in his dialect we find the word schiao, meaning your servant, which is derived from the Latin word for slave, esclavum. This is the origin of the international greeting ciao. Today Italy has achieved political as well as linguistic unity, and with few exceptions everyone speaks Italian. The dialects, however, remain very much alive. Indeed, most Italians may be considered bilingual because, in addition to speaking Italian, they also speak or at least understand the dialect of their own region or city. The Italian language has a much more limited vocabulary than the English language. For example, the word signore is translated as sir, mister, gentleman, and lord. Similarly, the word signora corresponds to lady, madam, and Mrs. The word bello means beautiful and handsome; casa is both house and home. The Italian language itself continues to evolve, reflecting Italians interchange with the world on a global basis and in particular with North America. Many words from English or derived from English have found their way into the everyday language. For example, the following words are common: shopping, fast food, quiz, and hamburger. And you will immediately recognize such new computer-related terms as the following: mouse, cliccare, and formattare. Dante is considered the father of the Italian language and one of the greatest poets of the Western world. His major work is la Divina Commẹdia. Ken Welsh / Alamy Attualità 15
