Italian.

Italy's official language is Italian, although for a highly developed capitalist country like Italy, which is one of the four largest economies in Europe, as well as a member of the European Union and a Schengen country, the prevalence of English is actually not low. Even if you immigrate to Italy and don't speak Italian, it's still possible to communicate using English.

It is considered a Romance language and is more closely related to Latin than any other Romance language. Italian originates from the Tuscan dialect of the Italo-Dalmatian subgroup, which belongs to the Indo-European family of languages. The dialect was used by the upper classes and writers in Florentine society in the 1100s.
