If you want to be by water, but not necessarily at a beach, consider the Italian lakes. George Clooney has given gorgeous Lake Como extra sheen, but there are quieter lakes that are just as lovely: I recommend Orta, Iseo and Trasimeno. If you need to declare the end of your love for someone, then you say Non ti amo piu’ = I don’t love you it anymore How to say I love you in Italian to a friend

But Pisa has much more to offer than just the leaning bell tower. Another romantic square within the beautiful old town of Pisais the large Piazza dei Cavalieri. With its impressive medieval buildings, it is definitely one of the most beautiful Renaissance squares in Europe. If you go a little further through the narrow streets of the old town, you will reach the romantic banks of the Arno River. Another place within the beautiful city of Pisa, where you can stroll romantically, for two along the shore. The famous Pisa buildings. Photo by Hiking the Alps. Positano Recommended by Lori of Travlinmad When things get more serious, the appropriate term to use is fidanzato/a, which has a different meaning than its English look-alike “fiance”. Fidanzato/a is both used for serious but informal relationships and formal relationships – those with un anello (“a ring”). Often, when children have a boyfriend/girlfriend, they call them their fidanzatino/a (“little boyfriend/girlfriend”). What if you have a friend, who is not quite just a friend, and you’d like to be a bit flirty, and tell them you like them?Understanding the nuances between these expressions is crucial, as using the appropriate phrase in different relationships ensures the conveyed sentiment aligns with the depth of affection intended. Italian expressions that you will love Ti amo” and “Ti voglio bene” are two expressions of affection in Italian, but they carry different nuances and depths of emotion. Expressing Affection: There are two very different ways to say “I love you” in Italian: ti voglio bene and ti amo. This is different from English where we have only one way to say “I love you”, so it’s important to understand the difference. However, it will be much appreciated if you earnestly tell someone sei bello/a (“you are beautiful”). You can also increase the flattery and tell them sei molto bello/a or sei bellissimo/a (“you are very beautiful”), or sei cosi bello/a (“you are so beautiful”).

Pisa Recommended by Linda of Hiking the Alps Getting to Ravello is quite easy, with buses running regularly throughout the day from nearby Amalfi and Positano, both of which can be reached by train or car.

So you see, learning how to say I love you in Italian is a little less straightforward than it may seem! Keeping these cultural differences in mind, your family trip to Italy and beyond will surely be a smooth and enjoyable journey. The Connection Between PDA and Discrimination HomophobiaBeaches are generally peerless on the Adriatic side, particularly around Rimini, then further south in Puglia (I recommend the lesser-known Punta Prosciutto, 40 minutes west of Lecce). The more famous the resort, the more likely those white sands have been bagged by expensive and ritzy beach clubs. It’s worth remembering that Italians are generally warm and friendly people, and by showing respect for their customs and traditions, your family can forge meaningful connections with the locals. Parting Words But there still are some choice words that you can use to describe a person’s physical appearance in a way that may make them blush: If your Italian partner asks you ti manco?, they want to know if you miss them, in which case you can answer mi manchi (“I miss you”).
