When Italy was unified, the Florentine language was massaged and it 
became the Italian language. In many parts of what became Italy other 
languages were spoken, several of these languages are closer to Catalan 
than they are to Italian.

NB the "correct" way to ask your question would have been "Why are there 
so many wikis for language spoken in Italy?" (All the Wikimedia 
Foundation wikis are in Florida :) )
