amore
Love in Rome
Amore is the Italian word for love, borrowed into English primarily through music and popular culture.
It appears in romantic contexts, often with theatrical or playful flair: That's amore!
The word evokes passion, old movies, and Dean Martin crooning about the moon hitting your eye like a big pizza pie.
