Funnily enough the medieval “ Lingua Franca” creole language used in the Mediterranean was primarily based on Italian dialects with some Occitan and Catalan mixed in.
I've heard Italian described as "drunk Catalan" and, being a speaker of Catalan and having had some exposure to Italian, I'm not sure I can entirely disagree.
