Grammar

Superlativo assoluto
Absolute superlatives 

“una notte bellissima”
(a very beautiful night)

The superlativo assoluto indicates the greatest possible degree of quality, without any comparison being made.
It’s formed by adding the suffix “-ISSIMO-A-I-E” to the end of the adjective. This suffix intensifies the meaning of an adjective, like the English adverb “very”.

– bello → BELLISSIMO (beautiful → very beautiful)
– bella → BELLISSIMA
– belli → BELLISSIMI
– belle → BELLISSIME

Examples:

– I cantanti sono BRAVISSIMI (The singers are extremely good)
– Anna è una BELLISSIMA ragazza (Anna is a very beautiful girl)
