Usage notes

  • Agree it with the noun: romantico, romantica, romantici, romantiche.
  • Use romantico for people, gestures, evenings, or places; innamorato means specifically "in love," not just romantic.
  • For literary or historical contexts, romantico can mean "Romantic" (the movement); capitalize in English, not usually in Italian.
