SUMMARY The identification of a building on Rhodes as the Hospitaller Inn of the Tongue of Italy has been subject to doubt and is contested by some scholars. This article sheds light on this question and brings new evidence from architectural, archaeological, 19th-century photographic, and manuscript sources. Some as yet unidentified structures appear to be property of the Tongue of Italy. Regarding the building in question, it was built in 1519 and likely stands on land previously occupied by the former mansion house of Fabrizio del Carretto, when he was admiral of the Order of Rhodes from 1509 to 1513.The doubts expressed about this structure, whether it should be considered as the Inn of Italy, are not well-founded. The house with the arms of Fabrizio del Carretto in the Street of the Knights can be identified as the Inn of the Tongue of Italy, as it was part of the Italian ‘Auberge’ housing some of its functions, in other words part of several buildings owned by this Tongue: the Inn of the knights, the private houses of the successive chiefs of the Tongue who held the office of admiral, the mansion houses for one or more priors from Italy, when they were at Rhodes, and the auxiliary buildings belonging to the Tongue of Italy. Today part of the historic centre of the town of Rhodes a designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this monument presents a significant multi-disciplinary dimension. It was built by a Christian military and religious Order. For almost four centuries, it was an Ottoman house, and the ground floor was converted into a grocery and tobacco store. By the beginning of the 20th century, after it was restored, its medieval architecture was highlighted. Today, it houses the Service of the Direction of the Medieval Town of Rhodes. Despite the fact that this structure went through different uses during the last five centuries, it stands as a most worthy-of-consideration example for intercultural identity.

罗德岛医院骑士的意大利舌头旅馆

发明内容在罗得岛上将一栋建筑物确定为意大利舌头的Hospitaller Inn一直受到质疑，并且受到一些学者的质疑。本文阐明了这个问题，并从建筑，考古，19世纪摄影和手稿来源中获得了新的证据。意大利舌头的财产似乎尚未得到确认。关于这栋建筑，它建于1519年，很可能站在以前由法布里齐奥·德尔·卡雷托（Fabrizio del Carretto）的豪宅占据的土地上，当时他是1509年至1513年罗德勋章的海军上将。它应该被认为是意大利的客栈，没有充分的根据。骑士街上有Fabrizio del Carretto怀抱的房子可以被认定为意大利舌头旅馆，因为它是意大利“ Auberge”酒店的一部分，具有某些功能，换句话说就是该舌头拥有的几座建筑物的一部分：骑士客栈，舌头历任酋长的私人房屋，担任海军上将办公室，在罗德岛时来自意大利的一个或多个先验房屋，以及属于意大利舌头的辅助建筑。今天，罗德镇历史中心的一部分被联合国教科文组织指定为世界遗产，这座纪念碑展现了重要的多学科维度。它是由基督教的军事和宗教秩序建造的。在将近四个世纪的时间里，这是一座奥斯曼帝国的房屋，一楼改建成了杂货店和烟草店。到20世纪初，在修复之后，其中世纪建筑得到了彰显。今天，它安置了罗得岛中世纪小镇的指挥部。尽管在过去的五个世纪中这种结构经历了不同的用途，但它还是跨文化身份认同中最值得考虑的例子。
