That is the <strong>italian quelli del<\/strong> shortcut: <em>quelli del municipio<\/em> means &#8220;the town hall people&#8221;, <em>quelli della banca<\/em> means &#8220;the bank folks&#8221;, <em>quelli del piano di sopra<\/em> means &#8220;the upstairs neighbors&#8221;. The recipe is simple. take <em>quelli<\/em> (those), add <em>di<\/em> merged with the article (<em>del, della, dei, dell&#8217;<\/em>), then the place or role. Singular works too: <em>quella del bar<\/em> is &#8220;the woman at the bar&#8221;, <em>quello dello sportello<\/em> is &#8220;the guy at the counter&#8221;. It sounds completely natural to a native ear, and once you hear it you will catch it everywhere. on the phone, at a condo meeting, in the queue at the post office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide walks you through the pattern step by step: how it is built, when Italians reach for it, how the singular and plural change, and how <em>quelli di<\/em> also names where someone is from.

The doorbell rings, your flatmate shouts from the kitchen, and you answer &#8220;Sono quelli del gas&#8221; before you even think about it. That is the shortcut at work, naming a group by their place. You did not say &#8220;the technicians from the gas company who service our building&#8221;. You pointed at the place they belong to, and everyone understood. Italians do this constantly, because it is fast and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recipe has three parts. Start with <em>quelli<\/em> (those people), add <em>di<\/em> (of, from), and finish with the place or role. Because <em>di<\/em> almost always merges with the article, you actually hear <em>del, della, dei, dello, dell&#8217;<\/em>. So the building blocks look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>quelli + del municipio = quelli del municipio <em>(the town hall people)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>quelli + della banca = quelli della banca <em>(the bank folks)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>quelli + dei trasporti = quelli dei trasporti <em>(the transport people)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>quelli + dell&#8217;assicurazione = quelli dell&#8217;assicurazione <em>(the insurance people)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice that <em>quelli del<\/em> never tells you the exact job title. It just hands you a label, and context fills in the rest. When someone says <em>Sono venuti quelli del gas<\/em>, you do not picture one specific person, you picture &#8220;the gas company crew&#8221;. This is exactly why the structure is so handy in real conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why\">Why Italians name a group by their place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English does something similar with &#8220;the folks at the bank&#8221; or &#8220;the people from upstairs&#8221;, but Italian leans on it far more often. The reason is convenience. naming a group by their place lets you skip a long, formal description. Instead of &#8220;i tecnici della societ\u00e0 che gestisce la rete elettrica&#8221;, you just say <em>quelli della luce<\/em>. Short, instantly understood, and it sounds the way real people speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will hear it most around services, offices, and neighbors. the situations where a whole group acts as one faceless unit:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hanno telefonato quelli della palestra per il rinnovo. <em>The gym people called about the renewal.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quelli del comune non hanno ancora risposto alla domanda. <em>The town council people still haven&#8217;t answered the application.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Devo richiamare quelli dell&#8217;officina, la macchina \u00e8 pronta. <em>I have to call back the garage people, the car is ready.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quelli della reception ci hanno cambiato la stanza senza problemi. <em>The reception folks switched our room without any fuss.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sono passati quelli della raccolta differenziata stamattina. <em>The recycling collection crew came by this morning.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In every case you could spell out the full job description, but no one does. The short label carries all the meaning you need, and the listener fills in the rest from the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-qd-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-challenge:<\/strong> Turn each long phrase into the short <em>quelli del\/della<\/em> label.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Le persone che lavorano alla banca \u2192 ___<\/li>\n<li>I tecnici che si occupano del gas \u2192 ___<\/li>\n<li>Gli impiegati del comune \u2192 ___<\/li>\n<li>Le persone che lavorano all&#8217;assicurazione \u2192 ___<\/li>\n<li>I vicini che abitano al piano di sopra \u2192 ___<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. quelli <strong>della banca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2. quelli <strong>del gas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3. quelli <strong>del comune<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4. quelli <strong>dell&#8217;assicurazione<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. quelli <strong>del piano di sopra<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"article\">Getting del, della, dei right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only tricky part of the <strong>italian quelli del<\/strong> pattern is choosing the right merged form of <em>di<\/em>. It depends entirely on the noun that follows, exactly like a normal article. <em>Il municipio<\/em> gives <em>del municipio<\/em>, <em>la banca<\/em> gives <em>della banca<\/em>, <em>l&#8217;assicurazione<\/em> gives <em>dell&#8217;assicurazione<\/em>, and a plural noun like <em>i trasporti<\/em> gives <em>dei trasporti<\/em>. The word <em>quelli<\/em> itself does not change here. it is the place noun that decides the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Place noun<\/th><th>Its article<\/th><th>Merged with di<\/th><th>Full label<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>municipio<\/td><td>il<\/td><td>del<\/td><td>quelli del municipio<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>banca<\/td><td>la<\/td><td>della<\/td><td>quelli della banca<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>assicurazione<\/td><td>l&#8217;<\/td><td>dell&#8217;<\/td><td>quelli dell&#8217;assicurazione<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>sportello<\/td><td>lo<\/td><td>dello<\/td><td>quello dello sportello<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>trasporti<\/td><td>i<\/td><td>dei<\/td><td>quelli dei trasporti<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>uffici<\/td><td>gli<\/td><td>degli<\/td><td>quelli degli uffici<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already feel comfortable with merged forms like <em>al, dal, nel<\/em>, then <em>del, della, dei<\/em> after <em>quelli<\/em> follow the very same logic. The label simply borrows whatever article the place noun would normally take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"singular\">Singular: quello del, quella della<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shortcut works just as well for one person. Swap the plural <em>quelli<\/em> for the singular, and pick the form that matches gender. <em>Quello del<\/em> for a man, <em>quella della<\/em> for a woman. This is how Italians point at a single person tied to a place or role without using a name they may not even know.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quella del bar mi ha tenuto da parte il giornale. <em>The woman at the bar saved the newspaper for me.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quello dello sportello \u00e8 stato gentilissimo. <em>The guy at the counter was really kind.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho chiesto a quella della reception se c&#8217;era posto. <em>I asked the woman at reception if there was room.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quello del primo piano lamenta sempre il rumore. <em>The man on the first floor always complains about the noise.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Devo ringraziare quella della farmacia per il consiglio. <em>I have to thank the woman at the pharmacy for the tip.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice how <em>quella del bar<\/em> does not mean &#8220;that bar&#8221; or anything about the place itself. it means a specific person you identify by where they work. The place is the label, the person is who you mean. This is the heart of the whole pattern, in singular or plural.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-qd-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-challenge:<\/strong> Pick the right singular form, <em>quello<\/em> or <em>quella<\/em>, plus the merged article.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>(la signora del bar) Ho salutato ___ del bar.<\/li>\n<li>(il signore dello sportello) ___ dello sportello ha chiuso presto.<\/li>\n<li>(la ragazza della reception) ___ della reception parla tre lingue.<\/li>\n<li>(il vicino del piano di sopra) ___ del piano di sopra ha traslocato.<\/li>\n<li>(la dottoressa dell&#8217;ambulatorio) ___ dell&#8217;ambulatorio \u00e8 in ferie.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>quella<\/strong> del bar<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Quello<\/strong> dello sportello<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Quella<\/strong> della reception<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Quello<\/strong> del piano di sopra<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Quella<\/strong> dell&#8217;ambulatorio<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"from-city\">Quelli di plus a city: where you are from<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same shortcut has a close cousin that points at origin instead of a workplace. When the word after <em>di<\/em> is a city or town, <em>quelli di<\/em> means &#8220;the people from there&#8221;. Here <em>di<\/em> stays bare, with no article, because city names usually take no article. So <em>quelli di Como<\/em> means &#8220;the people from Como&#8221;, <em>quelli di Lecce<\/em> means &#8220;the Lecce folks&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quelli di Como hanno un accento un po&#8217; diverso. <em>People from Como have a slightly different accent.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Allo stadio quelli di Verona fanno sempre un gran tifo. <em>At the stadium the Verona crowd always cheers loudly.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quelli di Lecce a tavola sanno il fatto loro. <em>The Lecce folks really know their way around the kitchen.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>A noi di Como il lago piace anche d&#8217;inverno. <em>We Como people like the lake even in winter.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This city version feels warm and informal, the kind of thing you say among friends or about a sports crowd. It is the same building idea as <em>quelli del<\/em>: you label a whole group with one quick phrase, and let everyone fill in who you mean. The only difference is that the place after <em>di<\/em> is now a town, so the article drops and you get plain <em>di<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"register\">Is it polite? A note on tone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>italian quelli del<\/strong> pattern lives in everyday spoken Italian, the relaxed register you use with friends, family, and neighbors. It is not rude, but it is informal, so you would not put it in a formal letter or a business email. In writing you would switch to something fuller, like <em>il personale della banca<\/em> (the bank staff) or <em>gli addetti del comune<\/em> (the council officers). In speech, though, <em>quelli della banca<\/em> is the natural choice, and nobody bats an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tone matters mostly in how you say it. Said neutrally, <em>quelli del comune<\/em> is just a label. Said with a sigh and rolled eyes, the same words can carry a hint of &#8220;those bureaucrats again&#8221;. The structure itself is neutral. the speaker&#8217;s mood adds any extra flavor. Among friends, <em>quelli di Como<\/em> can even be affectionate, a friendly nod to a shared hometown. So treat <em>quelli del<\/em> as a casual, friendly tool, and reach for fuller wording when the situation turns formal.<\/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\">Here is the whole pattern at a glance. Pick the form by number, gender, and the article the place noun takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Meaning<\/th><th>Form<\/th><th>Italian example<\/th><th>English<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Group, place\/role<\/td><td>quelli del\/della\/dei<\/td><td>Sono venuti quelli del gas.<\/td><td>The gas people came.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>One man, place\/role<\/td><td>quello del\/dello\/dell&#8217;<\/td><td>Quello dello sportello \u00e8 gentile.<\/td><td>The guy at the counter is kind.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>One woman, place\/role<\/td><td>quella della\/dell&#8217;<\/td><td>Quella del bar mi conosce.<\/td><td>The woman at the bar knows me.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Group of women<\/td><td>quelle della\/dell&#8217;<\/td><td>Quelle della reception sono brave.<\/td><td>The reception women are great.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>People from a city<\/td><td>quelli di + city<\/td><td>Quelli di Como sono cordiali.<\/td><td>People from Como are friendly.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Upstairs neighbors<\/td><td>quelli del piano di sopra<\/td><td>Quelli del piano di sopra fanno rumore.<\/td><td>The upstairs neighbors are noisy.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dialogue\">Dialogue at a condo meeting in Como<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlotta and Sebastiano live in the same building in Como and bump into each other before the yearly condo meeting.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions about the italian quelli del pattern come from real situations learners run into. For the underlying meaning of <em>quello<\/em> as a stand-alone word, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/quello\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani vocabolario entry on quello<\/a> is a reliable native reference.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-qd-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What does quelli del actually mean?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It means &#8216;the people at&#8217; or &#8216;the people from&#8217; a particular place or role. Quelli is &#8216;those people&#8217;, di means &#8216;of\/from&#8217;, and the two merge with the article into del, della, dei, dell&#8217;. So quelli del municipio is &#8216;the town hall people&#8217;, quelli della banca is &#8216;the bank folks&#8217;, quelli dell&#8217;assicurazione is &#8216;the insurance people&#8217;. You name a group by their place or job instead of listing names, and the listener fills in who you mean from context.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-qd-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I choose between del, della, dei and dell&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The form depends on the place noun that follows, exactly like a normal article. Il municipio gives del municipio, la banca gives della banca, l&#8217;assicurazione gives dell&#8217;assicurazione, lo sportello gives dello sportello, and a plural like i trasporti gives dei trasporti. The word quelli does not change here. it is the place noun that decides which merged form of di you use. If you already know al, dal, nel, the same merging logic applies.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-qd-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the singular of quelli del?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Use quello del or quello dello \/ dell&#8217; for a man, and quella della \/ dell&#8217; for a woman. Quello dello sportello is &#8216;the guy at the counter&#8217;, quella del bar is &#8216;the woman at the bar&#8217;, quella della reception is &#8216;the woman at reception&#8217;. The place still works as the label, but now it points to one person whose name you may not know. Gender of the person decides quello versus quella; the merged article still follows the place noun.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-qd-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is quelli del rude or dismissive?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not by itself. Quelli del belongs to everyday spoken Italian and is perfectly neutral. It can sound slightly impatient if you say it with a sigh, as in quelli del comune again, but that tone comes from your delivery, not the words. Among friends quelli di Como can even be affectionate. In formal writing you would switch to fuller wording like il personale della banca or gli addetti del comune, but in conversation quelli del is the natural, friendly choice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-qd-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What does quelli di plus a city mean?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>When the word after di is a town or city, quelli di means &#8216;the people from there&#8217;. Quelli di Como is &#8216;the people from Como&#8217;, quelli di Lecce is &#8216;the Lecce folks&#8217;. Here di stays bare with no article, because Italian city names usually take no article. It is the same labeling idea as quelli del, but it points at origin rather than a workplace, and it often has a warm, informal flavor, like talking about a hometown or a sports crowd.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-qd-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use quelli del in writing or only in speech?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It is mainly a spoken structure, fine for messages to friends, casual notes, and relaxed conversation. In formal contexts, a business email, an official letter, a report, you would replace it with a fuller phrase such as il personale della banca, gli uffici del comune, or gli addetti dell&#8217;assicurazione. So treat quelli del as a casual everyday tool: natural and clear in speech, but worth swapping for fuller wording when the register turns formal.<\/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-questi-quegli-literary\/\">Italian Questi, Quegli: Literary Pronouns for He<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-casual-talk-markers\/\">Italian Casual Talk: Mica, Boh, Tipo and Other Speech Markers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-e-tu-what-about-you\/\">Italian E Mario?
