Usage notes
- Less common than gioia or felicità in everyday speech; often sounds literary, old-fashioned, or elevated.
- Often appears in fixed expressions or descriptive writing rather than casual conversation.
- Do not confuse it with allegria, which is much more common for cheerfulness, liveliness, or a festive mood.
