Usage notes
- More elevated and dramatic than vincere; common in journalism, politics, sports headlines, and literary style.
- Use essere in compound tenses: è trionfato, sono trionfati. It usually forms the past participle with essere, not avere.
- Often followed by su or in: trionfare su qualcuno, trionfare in una gara. Avoid direct-object patterns like *trionfare qualcuno*.
