Who is the Father of the modern Italian language?
Durante degli Alighieri [May/June c. 1265-September 14, 1321] generally is considered the Father of the modern Italian language and of Italian literature. It's because he made the choice to write in the Florentine dialect of Italian, instead of in the standard Latin of the time. So he made that first, big step towards a national language and a national literature. He also made that first, big step towards recognizing the role of the Florentine dialect in a standard spoken and written Italian.
But two other gentlemen and an institution played key roles too. One individual was Cardinal Pietro Bembo [May 20, 1470-January 18, 1547]. He came up with a standard Italian that was based on the writings of Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio [1313-December 21, 1375], and Francesco Petrarca [July 20, 1304-July 19, 1374]. His work was accepted by the key institution, the Accademia della Crusca.
The other key individual was Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni [March 7, 1785-May 22, 1873]. Manzoni's 'I Promessi Sposi' ['The Betrothed'] is considered the first novel to have been written in modern Italian.
Italian families tend to stay together. If they can't be together in physical proximity, then they keep in close contact by calling, visiting, and writing. They also tend to stay in the same line of work. But each generation tries to take that work to a higher level. For example, a family business may start out as a small grocery store. The next generation may add a coffee shop or deli on the premises. The next generation may add a good restaurant. The next generation may get into the accounting, advertising, architecture, and interior design of the ever mushrooming family business.
