This book is the natural continuation of "Rhaeto- Cisalpine at a glance, Vol.1" and specifically deals with syntax issues. It aims at both offering a solid reference about, and at proposing a complete synthesis of this diasystem, including the Rhaeto-Romance languages and the so called Gallo-Italic ones (sometimes mistaken for Italian dialects, a conclusion probably driven by unscientific criteria inherited by the Italian Risorgimento political bias). In the formation of a general Rhaeto-Cisalpine koiné the following criteria have systematically been adopted: getting close to medieval forms, purging the language from Italian influence, adopting Galloroman models as decisive contributions, accepting widespread forms and generalising local ones. In particular Ladin forms (both Rhaetian and Dolomitic) have been deemed central, thus synthetic Padanian has been modelled mainly upon these ones. The author is the founder of the "Institud de studis Rhaeto-Cisalpins".
