What happens here?

Surely some significant changes took place in Italy during these 200 years.

First they got Germed, then they got Normed.

In between they got Sarazened.

And Greeked.

It stopped being the world's center for art, architecture, engineering, and literature to turn into a medieval shithole.

Greeks where actually there a long time before, in the end, Normies kicked them out.

Christianity, what a blessing.

>surely some significant changes took place

Yeah. The Birth of the Italian language.

Surely you didn't think that Italian was just Latin Dialect.

The Germanics strike again with their poor taste in culture and inability to learn the language franka

It wasn't Christianity incompetently ruling those countries, it was Germanics.

the lombards were instrumental to the formation of "italian" identity.
without them, italy would have remained under the decadent byzantine yoke and been unprepared to emerge from the dark age with the rest of western europe.
