Usage notes
- Use ampio for abstract range too: ampia scelta, ampio dibattito. Largo is more physical and often means wide across.
- For clothes, ampio sounds neutral or positive; largo can suggest simply too big or too wide.
- It agrees regularly: ampio, ampia, ampi, ampie. Watch the masculine plural in -i, not *ampie.
