The adjective stays plural even when the noun is singular, because <em>dei\/delle<\/em> picks a sample out of a top group.

That is the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> construction at work: a way of saying &#8220;a top-tier example of X&#8221; without the bluntness of <em>il pi\u00f9<\/em> + adjective and without the elementary feel of <em>molto bello<\/em>. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> pattern presents one item as belonging to the upper bracket of its kind, leaving the size of that bracket pleasantly vague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian grammar tradition lists the template as one of the alternative ways to express the &#8220;very-X&#8221; idea, alongside the <em>-issimo<\/em> suffix and plain <em>molto<\/em>. The structure is fixed: indefinite article, noun, <em>dei<\/em> or <em>delle<\/em> (or <em>fra i<\/em>, <em>fra le<\/em>), <em>pi\u00f9<\/em>, plural adjective. Two textbook examples, <em>ha raccolto dei fiori dei pi\u00f9 belli<\/em> and <em>disse una parola delle pi\u00f9 brutte<\/em>, already show the two faces of the pattern: praise and criticism, in the same elegant frame.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pompei \u00e8 considerata una scoperta delle pi\u00f9 importanti dell&#8217;archeologia europea.<br><em>Pompeii is considered a most important discovery in European archaeology.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Gli affreschi della Villa dei Misteri sono fra i cicli pittorici pi\u00f9 studiati del mondo antico.<br><em>The frescoes of the Villa of the Mysteries are among the most studied pictorial cycles of the ancient world.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Emanuela ha trovato un manoscritto dei pi\u00f9 rari nell&#8217;archivio del soprintendente.<br><em>Emanuela found a most rare manuscript in the superintendent&#8217;s archive.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"form\">The form, slot by slot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> structure has five slots that always line up in the same order. Once you internalise the slots, the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> sentence produces itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Slot 1<\/th><th>Slot 2<\/th><th>Slot 3<\/th><th>Slot 4<\/th><th>Slot 5<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>indefinite article<\/td><td>noun (singular)<\/td><td>dei \/ delle \/ fra i \/ fra le<\/td><td>pi\u00f9<\/td><td>adjective (plural)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>un<\/td><td>edificio<\/td><td>dei<\/td><td>pi\u00f9<\/td><td>splendidi<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>un&#8217;<\/td><td>idea<\/td><td>delle<\/td><td>pi\u00f9<\/td><td>interessanti<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>una<\/td><td>serata<\/td><td>delle<\/td><td>pi\u00f9<\/td><td>riuscite<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>un<\/td><td>restauro<\/td><td>fra i<\/td><td>pi\u00f9<\/td><td>complessi<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>uno<\/td><td>scavo<\/td><td>dei<\/td><td>pi\u00f9<\/td><td>recenti<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice of <em>dei<\/em> vs <em>delle<\/em> in the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> frame is mechanical: it tracks the gender of the noun. Masculine noun? <em>Dei pi\u00f9<\/em>. Feminine noun? <em>Delle pi\u00f9<\/em>. The plural article is hard-wired into the pattern even though the surface noun is singular, because the construction is really saying &#8220;one drawn from the most + adjective + ones&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-focus-form\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Five slots, one habit.<\/strong> Article + noun + <em>dei\/delle\/fra i\/fra le<\/em> + <em>pi\u00f9<\/em> + plural adjective. If the noun is masculine pick <em>dei<\/em> or <em>fra i<\/em>; if feminine pick <em>delle<\/em> or <em>fra le<\/em>. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> sentence builds itself once the slots are clear.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"agreement\">Why the adjective stays plural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the single feature of the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> pattern that throws English-speaking learners. The surface noun is singular (<em>un edificio<\/em>) yet the adjective lands in the plural (<em>splendidi<\/em>). Why? Because the construction is logically saying &#8220;a building among the most splendid ones&#8221;: the adjective qualifies an unspoken plural group, not the singular noun in front of it.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendidi (un edificio fra gli edifici pi\u00f9 splendidi).<br><em>A most splendid building (a building among the most splendid ones).<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Un&#8217;idea delle pi\u00f9 interessanti (un&#8217;idea fra le idee pi\u00f9 interessanti).<br><em>A most interesting idea (an idea among the most interesting ones).<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Un caso dei pi\u00f9 curiosi (un caso fra i casi pi\u00f9 curiosi).<br><em>A most curious case (a case among the most curious ones).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get the gender of the noun right and the rest falls into place: <em>delle<\/em> + feminine plural adjective, <em>dei<\/em> + masculine plural adjective. Saying <em>un&#8217;idea delle pi\u00f9 interessante<\/em> sounds like a syntax error to a native ear; the adjective must be <em>interessanti<\/em>. The same rule applies to past participles used as adjectives: <em>una serata delle pi\u00f9 riuscite<\/em>, not <em>riuscita<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #1.<\/strong> Fill the gap with the correct adjective form.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 stata una mostra delle pi\u00f9 ___ (interessante).<\/li>\n<li>Hanno trovato un reperto dei pi\u00f9 ___ (antico).<\/li>\n<li>Pio ha proposto un&#8217;idea delle pi\u00f9 ___ (originale).<\/li>\n<li>Quella domus \u00e8 una delle pi\u00f9 ___ (conservato) del sito.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 una giornata delle pi\u00f9 ___ (faticoso) di tutto il cantiere.<\/li>\n<li>Hanno organizzato un convegno dei pi\u00f9 ___ (riuscito).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>1. interessanti \u00b7 2. antichi \u00b7 3. originali \u00b7 4. conservate (fem. plural, agreeing with the implicit domus group) \u00b7 5. faticose \u00b7 6. riusciti<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fra\">The fra i pi\u00f9 \/ tra i pi\u00f9 variant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Native usage treats <em>fra i pi\u00f9<\/em> (or <em>tra i pi\u00f9<\/em>) as a fully interchangeable variant of the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> shape. The two are synonyms; the only difference is rhythm and personal preference. Newspaper Italian leans on <em>tra i pi\u00f9<\/em>, especially in headlines and opening paragraphs of feature articles. <em>La Repubblica<\/em>, for instance, has called Putin&#8217;s circle <em>uno dei pi\u00f9 stretti collaboratori<\/em>, while the same outlet would write <em>uno scrittore tra i pi\u00f9 premiati del decennio<\/em>. Same construction, different surface.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pompei \u00e8 un sito archeologico fra i pi\u00f9 visitati al mondo.<br><em>Pompeii is an archaeological site among the most visited in the world.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il restauro della Casa del Fauno \u00e8 stato un intervento dei pi\u00f9 delicati.<br><em>The restoration of the House of the Faun was a most delicate operation.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quella ceramica \u00e8 un pezzo tra i pi\u00f9 rari del Museo Archeologico di Napoli.<br><em>That ceramic is a most rare piece in the Naples Archaeological Museum.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Native speakers swap freely between the two within the same text. <em>Fra<\/em> and <em>tra<\/em> are themselves interchangeable, so a writer in a single paragraph might use <em>dei pi\u00f9<\/em>, then <em>tra i pi\u00f9<\/em>, then <em>fra le pi\u00f9<\/em>, just to avoid repetition. Treat the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> family as one set with three surface forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vs-uno\">Dei pi\u00f9 splendidi vs uno dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two patterns are first cousins, not twins. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> form, <em>un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/em>, places the noun first and the qualifier afterwards, with a faintly literary cadence. <em>Uno dei pi\u00f9 splendidi edifici<\/em> places the qualifier first and the noun afterwards, with a more conversational rhythm. Compare:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendidi (literary, evocative).<br><em>A most splendid building.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Uno dei pi\u00f9 splendidi edifici (conversational, neutral).<br><em>One of the most splendid buildings.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Un&#8217;idea delle pi\u00f9 felici (essayistic).<br><em>A most happy idea.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una delle pi\u00f9 felici idee (everyday).<br><em>One of the happiest ideas.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>uno dei pi\u00f9<\/em> + noun structure is the workhorse of spoken Italian. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> structure with the noun in front is the form a critic, an essayist, a curator or a wine writer would choose to lift the register half a notch. In an exam essay, in a museum text, in a travel feature, the second is the elegant move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vs-issimo\">Dei pi\u00f9 splendidi vs splendidissimo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian has three productive ways to mean &#8220;very splendid&#8221;: <em>molto splendido<\/em>, <em>splendidissimo<\/em>, and the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> noun-first construction. They are not synonyms in tone, even when their meaning overlaps. The choice between them shapes how the sentence feels to a native reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Form<\/th><th>Register<\/th><th>Feel<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>molto splendido<\/td><td>neutral<\/td><td>plain, accurate, slightly flat<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>splendidissimo<\/td><td>neutral to enthusiastic<\/td><td>warm, personal, conversational<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/td><td>elevated<\/td><td>elegant, evaluative, slightly distant<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An art historian writing a wall label for the National Roman Museum will reach for <em>un mosaico dei pi\u00f9 raffinati<\/em>; an enthusiastic visitor recounting the same mosaic to a friend will say <em>un mosaico raffinatissimo<\/em>; a textbook caption will settle on <em>un mosaico molto raffinato<\/em>. All three are correct. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> noun-first form is the one a B2 candidate adds to their toolkit when moving from &#8220;I can describe&#8221; to &#8220;I can evaluate with style&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"register\">Register: where the pattern lives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> pattern is not casual. You will rarely hear it shouted across a bar or used in a text message. It belongs to four habitats, each with its own flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Cultural journalism.<\/strong> Reviews of exhibitions, concerts, books, films, restaurants. <em>Una mostra delle pi\u00f9 ricche di recente memoria<\/em>, <em>un romanzo dei pi\u00f9 sorprendenti dell&#8217;anno<\/em>. <em>Corriere della Sera<\/em> and <em>la Repubblica<\/em> reach for the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> shape constantly in their <em>cultura<\/em> and <em>spettacoli<\/em> pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Museum and exhibition catalogues.<\/strong> Wall labels, audio guides, illustrated volumes. <em>Un affresco dei pi\u00f9 conservati<\/em>, <em>un manufatto dei pi\u00f9 antichi<\/em>. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> pattern signals expert judgement without naming a specific ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Wine, food, travel writing.<\/strong> A Slow Food guide will say <em>un vino dei pi\u00f9 strutturati della denominazione<\/em>; a travel essay will speak of <em>un borgo fra i pi\u00f9 suggestivi delle Marche<\/em>. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> construction sits naturally next to evaluative vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Polite formal speech.<\/strong> A presenter introducing a guest, an academic praising a colleague&#8217;s paper, a curator opening a vernissage. <em>Un saggio dei pi\u00f9 stimolanti<\/em>, <em>una serata delle pi\u00f9 riuscite<\/em>. Spoken with a small pause before <em>dei pi\u00f9<\/em>, it carries the kind of measured warmth a glowing endorsement needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"negative\">Negative adjectives: una parola delle pi\u00f9 brutte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> pattern is not reserved for praise. The textbook example <em>disse una parola delle pi\u00f9 brutte<\/em> points to the dark side: the same frame works for criticism, for unpleasant qualities, for grim adjectives. The structural elegance survives the change of sign.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 stato un comportamento dei pi\u00f9 scorretti.<br><em>It was a most improper behaviour.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno preso una decisione delle pi\u00f9 discutibili.<br><em>They made a most questionable decision.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quella replica \u00e8 stata una delle pi\u00f9 offensive che si potessero immaginare.<br><em>That reply was one of the most offensive imaginable.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In journalism this is where the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> construction earns its weight: condemning without shouting. A leader-writer who calls a measure <em>un provvedimento dei pi\u00f9 impopolari<\/em> is firmer than one who writes <em>molto impopolare<\/em>, and far more polished than one who writes <em>impopolarissimo<\/em>. The <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> family carries the same precision in either direction.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #2.<\/strong> Rewrite each sentence using the <em>dei\/delle pi\u00f9<\/em> pattern.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 un affresco molto importante per la storia dell&#8217;arte romana.<\/li>\n<li>Hanno girato un documentario molto premiato sui scavi.<\/li>\n<li>Quella relazione \u00e8 stata molto noiosa.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 un&#8217;occasione molto rara per studiare la pittura parietale.<\/li>\n<li>Pio ha scritto una pagina molto bella per il catalogo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>1. \u00c8 un affresco dei pi\u00f9 importanti per la storia dell&#8217;arte romana. \u00b7 2.

Fixing them takes ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mistake 1.<\/strong> Putting the adjective in the singular. Wrong: <em>un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendido<\/em>. Correct: <em>un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/em>. The adjective always tracks the implicit plural group, never the surface singular noun. The same goes for past participles: <em>una serata delle pi\u00f9 riuscite<\/em>, not <em>riuscita<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mistake 2.<\/strong> Mixing up <em>dei<\/em> and <em>delle<\/em>. Wrong: <em>un&#8217;idea dei pi\u00f9 interessanti<\/em>. Correct: <em>un&#8217;idea delle pi\u00f9 interessanti<\/em>. <em>Idea<\/em> is feminine, so the article and adjective land in the feminine plural. The mistake is invisible on paper but native ears catch it instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mistake 3.<\/strong> Using the pattern in casual speech where it sounds pretentious. A learner who tells a friend <em>\u00e8 stata una serata delle pi\u00f9 buone<\/em> sounds like they are reading from a guidebook. In that register, <em>buonissima<\/em> is the right call. Save the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> frame for writing, presentations, and formal evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dialog\">Dialogue: a restoration meeting at Villa dei Misteri<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emanuela, an architect attached to the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, meets Pio, a restorer brought in to assess the megalography cycle in the Villa dei Misteri.

questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six questions about the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> construction come up in every B2 essay-writing class, the kind a teacher hears every term about the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> frame. The answers below draw on real teaching cases and on the institutional resource <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/superlativo_%28La-grammatica-italiana%29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani on Superlativo<\/a>, whose entry on the absolute superlative covers the relevant alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What does un edificio dei piu splendidi actually mean?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It means a most splendid building, or a top-tier splendid building. The construction (indefinite article + noun + dei\/delle + piu + plural adjective) presents one item as belonging to the upper bracket of its kind without fixing the size of that bracket. It is not a literal superlative (the most splendid in the world) but an evaluative shortcut closer to among the most splendid. Italian grammar tradition lists it as an alternative way of expressing the very-X idea, alongside -issimo and molto.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is the adjective always plural even though the noun is singular?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because the construction is logically saying a building among the most splendid ones. The plural article dei\/delle and the plural adjective track an implicit plural group, not the surface singular noun. Un edificio dei piu splendido is wrong; un edificio dei piu splendidi is correct. The same holds for past participles used as adjectives: una serata delle piu riuscite, never riuscita.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">When do I use dei piu vs fra i piu vs tra i piu?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>They are fully interchangeable. Fra i piu and tra i piu are common in journalism and headlines, dei piu is common in cultural and academic prose, but writers swap between them freely in the same text just to avoid repetition. The choice between fra and tra is itself free. Pick whichever sounds better in the rhythm of your sentence; no nuance of meaning rides on the choice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How is un edificio dei piu splendidi different from uno dei piu splendidi edifici?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Both are correct and both mean roughly the same thing, but the word order changes the register. Un edificio dei piu splendidi (noun first) is literary, evocative, the kind of phrase a museum catalogue or a feature article would use. Uno dei piu splendidi edifici (qualifier first) is conversational and neutral. For an essay, a review, a wall label or a polite speech, the noun-first version lifts the register half a notch.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use this pattern with negative adjectives?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. The frame is sign-neutral: una parola delle piu brutte, un comportamento dei piu scorretti, una decisione delle piu discutibili. The textbook example disse una parola delle piu brutte is precisely the negative case. In journalism this is where the construction earns its weight: condemning with precision and elegance, firmer than molto and far more polished than -issimo. Use it whenever you want measured criticism with style.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Should I use this in everyday conversation?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Generally no. The pattern lives in writing, journalism, museum and exhibition texts, food\/wine\/travel reviews, and formal speech such as introductions, ceremonies and academic presentations. In a chat with friends, in a text message, at the bar, it sounds pretentious. For casual praise, reach for -issimo (splendidissimo, buonissimo) or molto (molto splendido). Save the dei piu splendidi frame for the moments when the register asks for evaluative polish.<\/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\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three guides that pair with the <strong>italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi<\/strong> construction, plus an institutional reference on the Italian superlative system.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-comparatives-and-superlatives\/\">Italian Comparatives and Superlatives<\/a>: the full system of <em>pi\u00f9<\/em>, <em>meno<\/em>, <em>-issimo<\/em>, irregular forms.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-piu-piu-the-more\/\">Italian Pi\u00f9 &#8230; Pi\u00f9: The More, The More<\/a>: paired <em>pi\u00f9<\/em> constructions.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-quattro-mille-idiomatic\/\">Italian Quattro, Mille: Vague Numbers<\/a>: how small numbers stop counting and become emphasis.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/superlativo_%28La-grammatica-italiana%29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani on Superlativo<\/a>: institutional entry on the Italian superlative system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian dei pi\u00f9 splendidi: B2 guide to un edificio dei pi\u00f9 splendidi, un&#8217;idea delle pi\u00f9 interessanti, una serata delle pi\u00f9 riuscite.
