In the article the author analyzed Italian borrowings in handwritten newspapers from 1671 to 1772 collected in the archive in Toruń. In most newspapers, mainly from the XVII century or the ones dealing with politics, diplomacy or religion, borrowings from other languages can be found. Although most of the borrowings came from Latin, Italian influences are also visible. While analyzing selected Italian words, the author of the text notices that some of them are nowadays treated as archaisms, others change their meanings, whereas some of them became naturalized in Polish language so strongly that are not noticed in the latest Polish dictionaries of borrowed foreign words.
