Usage notes
- Use figuratively too: allargare i propri orizzonti means broaden one's horizons; very common in speech and writing.
- Usually singular for the visible line: all'orizzonte, sull'orizzonte. Plural orizzonti is common in figurative uses.
- Don't confuse with panorama or paesaggio: orizzonte is the boundary line or figurative scope, not the whole view.
