This paper aims to show, by a comparative linguistic analysis, that this text it is not actually written in Piedmontese, adding evidence to some neglected suggestions by Carlo Salvioni in this regard. In fact, he believed that the Historia was a text from Bergamo, but even this claim is inaccurate, because the main linguistic features of this text can show that its place of origin is probably an area between eastern Lombardy, Emilia and Venetia, perhaps in the surroundings of Mantua.

In order to show a variation greater than that reported in descriptive studies, a preliminary examination of the ESCs of some varieties of Piedmontese is made, with particular reference to the impersonal verbs sembra (‘it seems’) and bisogna (an impersonal only verb meaning ‘it is necessary’). Keeping the same focus, such a microvariational analysis is then extended to the whole of NIDs, seeking to draw up a morphological typology linked to syntax-semantic interface hypotheses. Lastly, some suggestions about a crosslinguistic comparison and some diachronic facts are presented.

In una prospettiva di contatto tra dialetti si sono analizzate le dinamiche sociolinguistiche che hanno consentito la conservazione di tratti rustici e la diffusione di tratti di varietà urbane prestigiose, in particolare del torinese. A partire dall'analisi dei dati si è tentato di collegare i dati linguistici a fatti storici e sociali.
This paper aims to examine the distribution of linguistic features (phonetic-phonological and morphological) in some eastern Piedmontese dialects, with particular reference to an area included between middle towns Vercelli and Casale Monferrato. In a dialect contact perspective, this analysis deals with sociolinguistic dynamics that allowed for the persistence of rural speech forms and for the diffusion of prestigious urban speech forms, in particular Turinese ones. Starting from data analysis, a connection between linguistic data and historical and social facts is suggested.

They have been examined at several levels of linguistic analysis, with special attention to the diatopic and diachronic variation. The study makes use of a great array of sources for linguistic data, such as field interviews, linguistic atlases, descriptive grammars, and historical texts.
