ABSTRACT
Italy underwent radical social change in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming one of the most popular destinations of migratory routes in Europe. Since then, the Italian linguistic landscape has been enriched with new languages and cultures that have contributed to the creation of a multilingual mosaic. Due to the presence of large Latino communities in some areas of the country, Spanish has become one of the most important languages. The effects of transnationalism and the emergence of young generations of Latinos in Italy have led to new dynamics of language transmission and to high levels of mobility and innovation in language repertoires, fostered by the typological proximity between the minority language (Spanish) and the dominant language (Italian).
