Italian
Italian, like the other Romance languages, is the direct offspring of the Latin spoken by the Romans and imposed by them on the peoples under their dominion. Of all the major Romance languages, Italian retains the closest resemblance to Latin. In the early fourteenth century, written Italian began to take form through the works of Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). Best known is his allegorical work La Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy), which Dante began circa 1307 and worked on until his death. In 1525, a Venetian, Pietro Bembo (1470–1547) set out his proposals for a standardized language and style. In 1582, a group of Florentine intellectuals, meeting informally between 1570 and 1580, founded the Academy of the Chaff to maintain the purity of the Italian language.
