Simply put, the term preposition literally means, ‘something put before’ and is a key part of learning Italian. A preposition is a word or short phrase that explains how something relates to the rest of the sentence. Examples of some English prepositions include: at, for, with, into, from, in front of and near to.

As in English, Italian prepositions are placed before a noun or a pronoun to connect two pieces of information. For example, I’m at home; It’s for her; She’s on the train, and It’s in front of him.

Learning what the major prepositions are is easy enough, the tricky part for language learners is understanding which one is the correct preposition. This is incredibly important because otherwise you change completely change the whole meaning of a sentence.

In this guide, we’ll focus on how to use each Italian preposition and where to place it within the sentence.

Main Italian Prepositions

Along with the most common Italian words, it’s important to learn the most common prepositions in Italian and their general meanings. I say ‘general’, because their meanings may vary, which we will explore. These are called simple prepositions.

  • a (to, at)
  • di (of)
  • da (from)
  • in (in)
  • su (on)
  • con (with)
  • per (for)


Italian Prepositions List

Articulated Prepositions: Prepositions that combine with definite articles

When the simple prepositions a, di, da, in and su are followed by the definite article – il, la, i, le and so on, they combine (or contract) with the definite article to form one word. These are called articulated prepositions. For example, a + il = al. You can think of this contraction like the English ‘it is’ to ‘it’s’. It helps with phonetics and contributes to the flow and melody of the language.

Contracted Italian Prepositions Chart

Here’s a chart of all the possible variations for the prepositions we saw earlier and the articulated preposition for each.

Italian Preposition / Definite Article + il + lo + la + l’ + i + gli + le English Translation
a al allo alla all’ ai agli alle to/at the
di del dello della dell’ dei degli delle of the
da dal dallo dalla dall’ dai dagli dalle from the
in nel nello nella nell’ nei negli nelle in the
su sul sullo sulla sull’ sui sugli sulle on the
con con il con lo con la con l’ con i con gli con le with the
per per il per lo per la per l’ per i per gli per le for the

Once upon a time in Italian, the prepositions con and per were combined with the definite article to form variations of col and pel and so on, this is now a thing of the past. However, in spoken Italian you may still hear con combined with the definite article. For example: Matteo deve parlare col suo capo (Matteo has to speak to his boss).

Italian Prepositions con and perHere are some examples of Italian sentences using the prepositions in the table:

  • Lei si guarda sempre allo specchio – She’s always looking at herself in the mirror
  • Silvia è scesa dal treno – Silvia got off the train (Literally: ‘Silvia came down from the train’)
  • I passaporti sono sul tavolo – The passports are on the table.
  • Uno per uno – One by one
  • Con le buone o con le cattive – Come hell or high water / No matter what it takes [An idiomatic expression literally: ‘With the good or with the bad’]
  • Ho le farfalle nello stomaco – I have butterflies in my stomach [An idiomatic expression for feeling nervous or excited]
  • Voglio visitare la Galleria degli Uffizi a Firenze – I want to visit the Uffizi Gallery in Florence (Literally: ‘I want to visit the Gallery of the Uffizi’)

Other common Italian prepositions

There are many other prepositions which you should also familiarise yourself with. These include:

  • con (with)
  • senza (di) (without)
  • attraverso (across, through)
  • contro (di) (against)
  • dietro (di) (behind)
  • davanti a (in front of)
  • accanto a (beside, next to)
  • di fronte a (opposite)
  • in fondo a (at the bottom of)
  • sopra (di) (above)
  • sotto (under, below)
  • oltre (beyond)
  • in mezzo a (in the middle of)
  • dopo (di) (after)
  • prima (di) (before)
  • entro (by + point in time) eg. Dobbiamo finire entro domani – We have to finish by tomorrow
  • tra/fra (between) – these have exactly the same meaning and can be used interchangeably

Other Common Italian Prepositions Part 1 Other Common Italian Prepositions Part 2When to use each Italian preposition

Learning prepositions in any foreign language is a challenge and Italian is no exception. This is because the prepositions used can vary not only between languages but also according to expressions and verbs.

Quite often the preposition you use in Italian will be similar to what you would say in English, however, many of them may not be what you expect. One example is that a can mean ‘to’, ‘in’, ‘at’, or even ‘on’ in some cases. For example:

  • Vado al cinema – We’re going to the cinema
  • Vogliono venire al mare? – Do they want to come to the beach?
  • Abito a Londra– I live in London
  • Roberto è al telefono – Robert is on the phone

Then there are certain prepositions used with Italian verbs that relate to a specific place. For example, arrivare (to arrive) is always followed by the preposition a (at/to/in) when referring to a city, but when you arrive in a country, you use the preposition in (in).

Partire (to leave, depart) is always followed by the preposition da (from) when leaving from a place; when leaving for a place it is followed by the preposition per (for). Here are some examples:

  • Luca parte da Torino alle cinque – Luca leaves (from) Turin at 5 o’clock
  • Arrivo a Taormina nel pomeriggio – I’m arriving in Taormina in the afternoon
  • Parto per Roma domani mattina – I leave for Rome tomorrow morning

Unfortunately, there is no magic rule for learning prepositions, just lots of use cases! So it makes sense for you to learn how they are used as you go along. With that said, here are some specific rules you can learn and apply.

How to use the preposition A

How to use the preposition DI

How to use the Italian Preposition DIThe preposition di is used:

1. When talking about who or what something belongs to:

  • Il nome del parco (The name of the park)

  • Un quadro di Caravaggio (A painting by Caravaggio)

  • Un film di Fellini (A Fellini film / A film by Fellini)

3. To express ownership:

In English, ownership is shown by adding ‘s, or s’ for example ‘Michele’s pizza’. In Italian, we need to change the word order and use the preposition di to translate this type of phrase:

  • La macchina di mio padre (My father’s car) [Literally: ‘The car of my father’]
  • La casa dei nostri amici (Our friends’ house)
  • l’Otello di Verdi (Verdi’s Othello)

4. When there is a connection between two things

In English, when there is a connection between two things, one noun can be used in front of another, for example the car keys, the kitchen door. In Italian, we need to change the word order and use the preposition di to translate this kind of phrase:

  • il tavolo della cucina (the kitchen table)
  • il periodo delle vacanze (the holiday season)
  • il professore di inglese (the English teacher)
  • il campione del mondo (the world champion)

5. When a noun such as cotton, silver, paper is used as an adjective:

  • È di Firenze (He’s from Florence)
  • Di dove sei? (Where are you from?)

7. What something contains or what it is made of:

  • Un gruppo di turisti (A group of tourists)
  • Un bicchiere di vino bianco (A glass of white wine)
  • È fatto di legno (It’s made of wood)

8. After certain numbers

After milione (million), and words for approximate numbers, such as un migliaio (about a thousand) and una ventina (about twenty):

  • Ho vinto un milione di dollari! (I won a million dollars!)
  • C’era un migliaio di persone al concerto (There was about a thousand people at the concert)
  • Davide ha una ventina di macchine (David has about twenty cars)

Learn more about Italian numbers and how to count to a billion with my guide.

9. After certain verbs and adjectives:

  • Ti ricordi di Roberto? (Do you remember Roberto?)
  • Sto tentando di concentrarmi (I’m trying to concentrate)
  • Le arance sono ricche di vitamina C (Oranges are rich in vitamin C)
  • Era pieno di gente (It was full of people)

Some Italian verbs are single words in English, but in Italian, they are phrases ending with di, such as:

  • avere bisogno di (to need)
  • avere voglia di (to want/feel like)

Here are some examples:

  • Non ho bisogno di un taxi (I don’t need a taxi)
  • Non ho voglia di stare a casa (I don’t want to stay at home)

10. With nouns to say when:

  • di giovedì (on Thursdays)
  • di notte (at night)
  • di giorno (during the day)
  • di mattina (in the morning)
  • di sera (in the evening)

11. With seasons and parts of the day:

  • d’estate (in summer)
  • d’inverno (in winter)

12. To make comparisons meaning ‘than’:

  • Lei più alto di lui (She is taller than him)
  • Sono più brava di lui (I’m better than him)

As seen above, di can be used before a pronoun:

  • senza di lei (without her)
  • contro di te (against you)

13. After a superlative:

  • il più grande del mondo (the biggest in the world)
  • il migliore d’Italia (the best in Italy)

14. To mean some:

When di is combined with the definite article it means ‘some’:

  • Ci sono delle persone (There are some people)
  • Vuoi dei biscotti? (Do you want some biscuits/cookies?)

15. With verbs in the infinitive when it is used as a noun:

  • Hanno paura di volare (They are afraid of flying) [Literally: ‘They have fear of flying’]
  • Non ho voglia di lavorare (I don’t feel like working)
  • Hanno bisogno di aiuto (They need help) [Literally: ‘They have need of help’]
