Best Answer

It's not so much of a question of when, but rather how. Since English isn't, and didn't originate from, a Romanic language like Spanish, French, Italian, Portugese or Romanian, there was no specific point in time where Italy heavily influenced the shaping of the English language.

English has been influenced by Italy in certain subject areas such as music; for example words like, piano, soprano, and tenor. Things that are culturally Italian in origin like Pizza, balcony, or fascism have also made their way into the English language.
