Assoc. Prof. Lanza: Lithuanians in Italy Are Valued for Their Multilingualism
“Asking me what makes the Italian language exceptional is like asking a farmer how his vegetables are superior to others! Italian, being the most similar language to Latin, has shaped a significant portion of the lexical composition of European languages, which is evident even in languages of different origins, such as English. Such cultural status allows it, to some extent, to serve as a means of communication not only with Spanish and Portuguese speakers but also elsewhere in the world. I always remind people that there are more Italians in New York than Lithuanians in Vilnius,” notes Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) Assoc. Prof. Stefano M. Lanza, an Italian who has lived in Lithuania for many years.
