Love, in Italy

Answer:

AMORE

Hint:

Think of the romantic word Italians whisper that ends with the same letter it starts with.

Explanation:

The clue "Love, in Italy" is asking for the Italian word for "love," which is amore. It’s a straightforward translation—no wordplay or tricks here—just a direct reference to how Italians express the concept. Since Italian is a Romance language, amore (pronounced "ah-MOH-reh") is a common term you’d hear in songs, poetry, or everyday conversation. If you’ve ever seen classic Italian films or listened to opera, you’ve probably encountered it before.
