Usage notes
- Use 'autore' for books, films, or art; 'scrittore' is only for books. 'Artista' is broader (music, visual arts).
- Feminine form is 'autrice' (not 'autora'). 'Autrice' is standard but some still use 'autore' for women.
- Often paired with 'di' (e.g., 'autore di un romanzo'). Avoid 'per' unless specifying purpose.
