Usage notes
- Use autunno in all contexts; Italian does not use an equivalent of American English fall.
- With seasons, Italian often uses in: in autunno. You can also say d'autunno for 'autumnal' or 'in autumn'.
- Usually masculine singular: l'autunno, un autunno caldo. It takes the article more often than English seasons do.
