Usage notes
- As an adjective, it must agree: fiorentino, fiorentina, fiorentini, fiorentine.
- Use fiorentino for people, accent, cuisine, or style from Florence; use di Firenze when you just need a neutral origin phrase.
- Capitalization differs from English: Italian adjectives of origin are normally lowercase, even when English uses 'Florentine'.
