They had already lost the language, the religion and much of the culture.
In the beginning, they burned and pillaged the churches and the cloisters. When they went to England, they had already started to build them instead.
BBC had a good tv series about the Normans btw, worth seeing. I didn't know much about the Italian history, for instance.
(Re losing the religion -- as a hard line atheist from the Nordic countries, I'll admit that even Christianity was a step up from what was before. :-) )
