Usage notes
- Use trionfo for a clear, celebrated success; vittoria is more neutral and common for simply winning.
- Often appears in fixed patterns like un trionfo di + noun, meaning an abundance or spectacular display, not literal victory.
- Common in journalism, sports, politics, and praise; sounds stronger and more emphatic than successo.
