Months, Seasons and Dates

To plan a trip you need dates — and dates need months and seasons. Note this: in Italian, months and seasons are written in lowercase, unlike in English.

The twelve months (i mesi)

Italian Pronunciation English
gennaio jen-NA-yo January
febbraio feb-BRA-yo February
marzo MAR-tso March
aprile a-PREE-le April
maggio MAD-jo May
giugno JOO-nyo June
luglio LOO-lyo July
agosto a-GOS-to August

The four seasons (le stagioni)

Italian Pronunciation English Months
la primavera pri-ma-VE-ra spring mar–jun
l'estate e-STA-te summer jun–sep
l'autunno au-TUN-no autumn sep–dec
l'inverno in-VER-no winter dec–mar

Date format: il [number] [month]. "Il ventiquattro giugno" — "The 24th of June." Unlike in English, there is no di ("of") in between. Only the first day of the month takes the ordinal number: il primo maggio (the 1st of May).
