Summary "Storia degli Italiani, vol. 15" by Cesare Cantù is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume likely explores the linguistic and cultural evolution of the Italian language and its origins, addressing theories about the development of the Italian vernacular from Latin. It delves into the influences of various dialects and languages present in Italy, examining the historical transitions that shaped modern Italian. The opening of this work presents an introduction to the study of languages and the process of communication among humans. It begins by addressing the physiological and intellectual conditions necessary for language development, underscoring the differences between humans and animals. Cantù introduces three main theories regarding the evolution of the Italian language, reflecting on historical alterations from Latin to the vernacular. He emphasizes the significance of tracking linguistic changes over time, suggesting that Italian emerged naturally from Latin rather than abruptly from outside influences, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of dialects and their historical contexts throughout Italy.
