Usage notes
- Usually singular as a collective noun: Ho troppo bagaglio. Use bagagli for separate pieces or in transport/travel contexts.
- In everyday travel, valigia means a suitcase; bagaglio is broader and includes all luggage, not one specific case.
- Common in fixed travel phrases like bagaglio a mano and bagaglio da stiva; these are more idiomatic than literal alternatives.
