Usage notes
- Usually means a diplomatic ambassador. For a generic representative in marketing, Italian often prefers testimonial, portavoce, or rappresentante.
- Use both masculine and feminine forms: ambasciatore / ambasciatrice. The article changes normally: l'ambasciatore, l'ambasciatrice.
- As 'messenger,' this sense is literary or old-fashioned. In everyday Italian, messaggero is usually more natural.
