The recipe is always the same: noun + adjective + <strong>da<\/strong> + infinitive. The infinitive has a passive sense, even though it looks active: <em>bello da vedere<\/em> means &#8220;beautiful when it is seen&#8221;, not &#8220;beautiful at seeing things&#8221;. This A2 guide shows you when to reach for <em>da<\/em>, why <em>bello da essere visto<\/em> is wrong, and how to keep this pattern separate from the lookalike <em>\u00e8 facile dire<\/em> (where the infinitive itself is the subject and <em>da<\/em> disappears).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you start hearing <em>italian bello da vedere<\/em> in everyday speech, you find it everywhere: in tourist brochures, on menus, in cookbooks, in compliments.

When an Italian adjective qualifies a noun and you want to add what gets done to that noun, the link word is <strong>da<\/strong> followed by the infinitive. <em>Un panorama bello da vedere<\/em>. <em>Una salita dura da affrontare<\/em>. <em>Un&#8217;acqua buona da bere<\/em>. The infinitive looks active but the meaning is passive: the noun is the thing that is seen, faced, drunk. Two words and you&#8217;ve packed an entire mini-sentence onto a noun. That is italian bello da vedere in one breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recipe\">The recipe: noun + adjective + da + infinitive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk into a small osteria in Civita di Bagnoregio and the menu does the italian bello da vedere work for you. <em>Bruschetta buona da provare<\/em>. <em>Vino facile da abbinare<\/em>. <em>Tagliere bello da fotografare<\/em>. The italian bello da vedere recipe is mechanical: take a noun, add an adjective that says what kind it is, then add <em>da<\/em> + the infinitive that says what gets done to it. Three slots. No agreement on the infinitive. The adjective, of course, still agrees with the noun.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Il panorama dal ponte \u00e8 bello da vedere.<br><em>The view from the bridge is beautiful to see.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Questa frase \u00e8 facile da dire.<br><em>This sentence is easy to say.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La pietra tufacea \u00e8 facile da scolpire.<br><em>The tuff stone is easy to carve.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Questa bistecca \u00e8 dura da masticare.<br><em>This steak is hard to chew.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I sentieri intorno ai calanchi sono difficili da trovare.<br><em>The paths around the badlands are hard to find.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il vino dei Colli del Trasimeno \u00e8 delizioso da bere fresco.<br><em>The Colli del Trasimeno wine is delicious to drink chilled.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian bello da vedere adjective agrees with the noun in gender and number (<em>bello, bella, belli, belle<\/em>), while <em>da<\/em> + infinitive stays frozen. <em>Una vista bella da vedere<\/em>, <em>due viste belle da vedere<\/em>, <em>un panorama bello da vedere<\/em>, <em>panorami belli da vedere<\/em>. The infinitive carries the action; the adjective carries the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-bdv-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task:<\/strong> Build the italian bello da vedere pattern with the noun, adjective, and verb given.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>(panorama) + (bello) + (vedere)<\/li>\n<li>(parola) + (facile) + (dire)<\/li>\n<li>(zaino) + (comodo) + (portare)<\/li>\n<li>(libro) + (difficile) + (leggere)<\/li>\n<li>(piatto) + (buono) + (mangiare)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 See answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1.

Un <strong>piatto buono da mangiare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"passive\">Why bello da vedere has a passive meaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the italian bello da vedere quirk that surprises English speakers. <em>Bello da vedere<\/em> looks like &#8220;beautiful at seeing&#8221; or &#8220;beautiful when seeing&#8221;, but it doesn&#8217;t mean that at all. It means <em>beautiful when it is seen<\/em>. The noun is the thing that gets seen, not the thing doing the seeing. A panorama doesn&#8217;t see; we see it. <em>Una bistecca dura da masticare<\/em> doesn&#8217;t mean the steak chews; it means the steak <em>is chewed<\/em>, and the chewing is hard. The infinitive after <em>da<\/em> in italian bello da vedere always carries this passive flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Un&#8217;acqua buona da bere.<br><em>Water that is good to drink. (good when drunk)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una storia triste da raccontare.<br><em>A sad story to tell. (sad when it gets told)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una verit\u00e0 difficile da accettare.<br><em>A truth hard to accept. (hard when one accepts it)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Un dolce facile da preparare.<br><em>A dessert easy to make.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because the italian bello da vedere meaning is already passive, you must never add an actual passive infinitive. <em>Bello da essere visto<\/em> is wrong. <em>Buono da essere mangiato<\/em> is wrong. The <em>da<\/em> + plain infinitive already does the passive job; stacking <em>essere + past participle<\/em> on top of it is overkill and ungrammatical. <em>Pronto da bere<\/em>, yes. <em>Pronto da essere bevuto<\/em>, never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adjectives\">The adjectives that take this pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every adjective slides into the italian bello da vedere pattern. The ones that do form a tight semantic family: they describe a quality you can judge once the action has been performed on the noun. Here is the core italian bello da vedere shortlist you&#8217;ll hear in everyday Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Adjective<\/th><th>Italian example<\/th><th>English<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>bello<\/td><td>Un tramonto bello da vedere.<\/td><td>A beautiful sunset to see.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>brutto<\/td><td>Una notizia brutta da dare.<\/td><td>An ugly piece of news to give.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>buono<\/td><td>Un dolce buono da mangiare freddo.<\/td><td>A dessert good to eat cold.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>facile<\/td><td>Una ricetta facile da seguire.<\/td><td>An easy recipe to follow.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>difficile<\/td><td>Un testo difficile da capire.<\/td><td>A text hard to understand.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>duro<\/td><td>Una salita dura da affrontare.<\/td><td>A climb hard to face.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>delizioso<\/td><td>Un vino delizioso da gustare.<\/td><td>A wine delicious to taste.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>strano<\/td><td>Un&#8217;idea strana da spiegare.<\/td><td>An idea strange to explain.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>pronto<\/td><td>Latte pronto da bere.<\/td><td>Milk ready to drink.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>comodo<\/td><td>Scarpe comode da indossare.<\/td><td>Shoes comfortable to wear.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>utile<\/td><td>Un consiglio utile da ricordare.<\/td><td>Useful advice to remember.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>impossibile<\/td><td>Una promessa impossibile da mantenere.<\/td><td>A promise impossible to keep.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian bello da vedere common thread is evaluation: how does the noun come out once you see, drink, eat, follow, climb, or carry it? That&#8217;s why italian bello da vedere is so productive in everyday speech: every time you judge a thing by what you do with it, the pattern is one of the most natural ways to say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"essere\">The \u00e8 + adjective + da + infinitive variant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can keep the same italian bello da vedere pattern and just put it after <em>\u00e8<\/em> (or any form of <em>essere<\/em>). The noun comes first as the subject, and the adjective + <em>da<\/em> + infinitive describes it. Functionally it&#8217;s the same italian bello da vedere recipe; visually it&#8217;s spread across the sentence instead of stuck onto the noun.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Il panorama dal ponte \u00e8 bello da vedere.<br><em>The view from the bridge is beautiful to see.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Questa salita \u00e8 dura da affrontare con le valigie.<br><em>This climb is hard to face with suitcases.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La tua frase \u00e8 facile da capire.<br><em>Your sentence is easy to understand.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il vento qui \u00e8 piacevole da sentire dopo la salita.<br><em>The wind here is pleasant to feel after the climb.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quella storia \u00e8 triste da raccontare ai bambini.<br><em>That story is sad to tell to children.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two italian bello da vedere versions, <em>una frase facile da dire<\/em> (attached to the noun) and <em>questa frase \u00e8 facile da dire<\/em> (after <em>\u00e8<\/em>), are equivalent in meaning. The first is more compact; the second is a comment you stop to make. Italians switch between them without thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vs-impersonal\">Bello da vedere vs \u00e8 bello vedere: the contrast that matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the single most important italian bello da vedere contrast to lock down at A2. Italian has another structure that looks dangerously similar: <em>\u00e8 + adjective + infinitive<\/em>, with no <em>da<\/em>. <em>\u00c8 bello vedere il tramonto<\/em>. <em>\u00c8 facile dire la verit\u00e0<\/em>. <em>\u00c8 difficile capire questa lezione<\/em>. The two patterns sound alike, but the grammar is opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trick is to ask: <strong>what is the subject of the main verb?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bello da vedere pattern.<\/strong> The noun is the subject; the adjective qualifies it; <em>da<\/em> + infinitive says what gets done to it. <em>Il tramonto \u00e8 bello da vedere.<\/em> Subject = <em>il tramonto<\/em>. Use <em>da<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00c8 bello vedere pattern.<\/strong> The infinitive itself is the subject; <em>\u00e8 bello<\/em> comments on it impersonally. <em>\u00c8 bello vedere il tramonto.<\/em> Subject = <em>vedere il tramonto<\/em>. No <em>da<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the same idea in both shapes:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La verit\u00e0 \u00e8 facile da dire.<br><em>The truth is easy to say.<\/em> (noun = subject, use da)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 facile dire la verit\u00e0.<br><em>It&#8217;s easy to tell the truth.<\/em> (infinitive = subject, no da)<\/li>\n<li>Questo libro \u00e8 difficile da capire.<br><em>This book is hard to understand.<\/em> (noun = subject, use da)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile capire questo libro.<br><em>It&#8217;s hard to understand this book.<\/em> (infinitive = subject, no da)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sentences are correct Italian, built differently. The first puts the noun in the spotlight, the second puts the action in the spotlight. Get the italian bello da vedere subject right and you&#8217;ll never wobble between <em>da<\/em> and no-<em>da<\/em> again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-bdv-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task:<\/strong> Add <em>da<\/em> or leave it out, depending on the structure.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Il panorama dal ponte \u00e8 bello ___ vedere.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 bello ___ vedere il panorama dal ponte.<\/li>\n<li>Questa torta \u00e8 facile ___ preparare.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 facile ___ preparare questa torta.<\/li>\n<li>Una verit\u00e0 difficile ___ accettare.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile ___ accettare la verit\u00e0.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 See answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. bello <strong>da<\/strong> vedere (noun = subject)<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00c8 bello vedere (infinitive = subject, no da)<\/p>\n<p>3. facile <strong>da<\/strong> preparare (noun = subject)<\/p>\n<p>4. \u00c8 facile preparare (infinitive = subject, no da)<\/p>\n<p>5. difficile <strong>da<\/strong> accettare (noun = subject)<\/p>\n<p>6. \u00c8 difficile accettare (infinitive = subject, no da)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"buono\">A side note on buono da and buono a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adjective <em>buono<\/em> behaves slightly differently depending on whether you follow it with <em>da<\/em> or with <em>a<\/em>. Both exist, both are correct, but they say different things.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Buono da<\/strong> + infinitive = the noun is suitable for, fit for that action.<br><em>I cantuccini sono buoni da inzuppare nel vinsanto.<\/em><br><em>Cantuccini are good for dunking in vinsanto.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Buono a<\/strong> + infinitive = a person is able, capable of doing that action.<br><em>Non \u00e8 buono a fare la spesa da solo.<\/em><br><em>He&#8217;s not good at doing the shopping on his own.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when you describe a thing or a food, the italian bello da vedere recipe is <em>buono da<\/em>. When you describe a person&#8217;s ability, the pattern is <em>buono a<\/em>. At A2 the only one you really need is <em>buono da<\/em>, which fits the italian bello da vedere family. <em>Buono a<\/em> with a person is a B1+ side path; just know that it exists so you don&#8217;t confuse the two with italian bello da vedere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also stumble on a few fixed expressions where <em>a<\/em> replaces <em>da<\/em> with no real change of meaning: <em>strano a dirsi<\/em>, <em>facile a dirsi<\/em>, <em>terribile a vedersi<\/em>. These are slightly bookish and feel a little old-fashioned; the everyday form is always <em>strano da dire<\/em>, <em>facile da dire<\/em>, <em>terribile da vedere<\/em>. Stick with <em>da<\/em> at A2 and you&#8217;ll always be right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"traps\">Four traps where English speakers slip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four italian bello da vedere mistakes show up over and over in A2 writing. Knowing them in advance saves a lot of red ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-1\">Trap 1: Adding a passive infinitive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian bello da vedere passive sense is baked in, so <em>bello da essere visto<\/em>, <em>buono da essere mangiato<\/em>, <em>difficile da essere capito<\/em> are all wrong. Always plain active infinitive after <em>da<\/em>: <em>bello da vedere<\/em>, <em>buono da mangiare<\/em>, <em>difficile da capire<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-2\">Trap 2: Confusing bello da vedere with \u00e8 bello vedere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two italian bello da vedere lookalikes have different jobs. <em>Il tramonto \u00e8 bello da vedere<\/em> puts the noun as the subject (use <em>da<\/em>). <em>\u00c8 bello vedere il tramonto<\/em> puts the infinitive as the subject (no <em>da<\/em>). Mixing them as <em>\u00e8 bello da vedere il tramonto<\/em> sounds wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-3\">Trap 3: Forgetting the adjective still has to agree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infinitive after <em>da<\/em> is frozen, but the adjective in front of <em>da<\/em> still agrees in gender and number. <em>Una vista bella da vedere<\/em>, <em>due viste belle da vedere<\/em>, <em>panorami belli da vedere<\/em>, <em>scarpe comode da indossare<\/em>. This italian bello da vedere agreement slip is the single most common A2 mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-4\">Trap 4: Reaching for di or a instead of da<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian uses several prepositions before infinitives (<em>contento di<\/em>, <em>bravo a<\/em>, <em>pronto per<\/em>), but the italian bello da vedere preposition is always <em>da<\/em>. <em>Una casa difficile di trovare<\/em> or <em>difficile a trovare<\/em> are wrong; the correct form is <em>una casa difficile da trovare<\/em>. When in doubt, default to <em>da<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One table, the whole italian bello da vedere pattern in a single glance.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions about italian bello da vedere come from real conversations among Italian learners online. The semantic split between the <em>da<\/em>-pattern and the impersonal <em>\u00e8<\/em>-pattern is also discussed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/da\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani vocabolario entry on the preposition da<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-bdv-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What does bello da vedere actually mean in English?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It means beautiful to see, beautiful when looked at. The infinitive vedere has a passive sense even though the form looks active: the noun is the thing that is seen, not the thing doing the seeing. A panorama bello da vedere is a panorama that is beautiful when seen. The same logic applies to buono da mangiare (good when eaten), facile da dire (easy when said), and so on. The recipe is always noun + adjective + da + plain active infinitive, with a passive meaning baked in.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-bdv-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why can&#8217;t I say bello da essere visto?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because the da + plain infinitive already carries a passive sense, so stacking essere + past participle on top is ungrammatical. Italian allows pronto da bere but never pronto da essere bevuto, buono da mangiare but never buono da essere mangiato, facile da dire but never facile da essere detto. The plain infinitive after da is the only legal form. If you find yourself reaching for essere + past participle, stop and switch to the bare infinitive.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-bdv-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What&#8217;s the difference between facile da dire and facile a dire?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In everyday Italian, the standard form is facile da dire, with da. The variant facile a dire or its reflexive sister facile a dirsi exists but is bookish and slightly old-fashioned, found mostly in fixed expressions like strano a dirsi, facile a dirsi, terribile a vedersi. The two are interchangeable in meaning, but da is the default at every register from spoken conversation to standard writing. At A2 just use da and you&#8217;ll always be right.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-bdv-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What&#8217;s the difference between il libro \u00e8 facile da leggere and \u00e8 facile leggere il libro?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The two sentences describe the same situation but pick different subjects. Il libro \u00e8 facile da leggere puts il libro as the subject; the adjective facile qualifies the book, and da leggere says what gets done to it. \u00c8 facile leggere il libro is impersonal: the infinitive leggere il libro is itself the subject, and \u00e8 facile comments on it. Both are correct Italian. The first puts the book in the spotlight; the second puts the action in the spotlight. The two patterns sit side by side in normal Italian and you choose based on which slot you want as the subject.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-bdv-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How is bello da vedere different from un libro da leggere?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>They are cousins, not twins. Un libro da leggere is just a noun + da + infinitive: it works like a bare relative clause meaning a book that is to be read or a book to read. There is no adjective in front of da. Bello da vedere has an adjective in front of da: noun + adjective + da + infinitive. The adjective is the heart of the construction: it tells you what kind of quality you&#8217;re judging once the action gets done to the noun. Without the adjective you have un libro da leggere; with it you have un libro bello da leggere or un libro difficile da leggere.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-bdv-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does the adjective agree with the noun in this pattern?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. The adjective in front of da always agrees with its noun in gender and number, exactly as it would on its own. Una vista bella da vedere, due viste belle da vedere, panorami belli da vedere, scarpe comode da portare, libri facili da leggere. The infinitive after da, in contrast, never changes. It&#8217;s frozen in its plain active form. Forgetting the agreement on the adjective is the single most common slip at A2: remember that the recipe is noun + agreeing adjective + frozen da + infinitive.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-da-infinitive-relatives\/\">Italian Da + Infinitive Relatives: Libro Da Leggere (B1)<\/a>: the sister structure where a noun + da + infinitive works as a bare relative clause.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-adjectives-with-infinitive\/\">Italian Adjectives + Infinitive: Bravo a Fare (B1)<\/a>: the B1 hub on all five adjective + preposition + infinitive families (bravo a, contento di, facile da, pronto per).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-per-vs-da-infinitive\/\">Italian Per vs Da + Infinitive: Purpose and Use (B1)<\/a>: the per\/da contrast in more depth.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accademiadellacrusca.it\/it\/consulenza\/luso-della-preposizione-da\/91\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accademia della Crusca: l&#8217;uso della preposizione da<\/a>: institutional note on da and its many functions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian bello da vedere is the A2 pattern noun + adjective + da + infinitive: un panorama bello da vedere, una frase facile da dire, una salita dura da affrontare.
