Abstract

The paper analyses the use of Romanian borrowings in contemporary Italian prose, as a form of social change due to immigration. Three recent novels shall be considered: two are written by Italian authors – Daniele Semeraro’s Ana Macarena (Castelvecchi Editore, 2018) and Armando Santarelli’s Storia di Mirela (Rubbettino,2020), and one by an Italian-speaking Romanian immigrant, Andreea Simionel’s Male a est (Italo Svevo Edizioni, 2022), outlined in the 2023 edition of the Strega Awards. The investigation follows the Romanian gastronomic vocabulary, mainly used by the three authors in their novels.
