giorno

Roman calendar unit

Giorno is Italian for "day," encountered in English mainly in the phrase *buongiorno* (good day, good morning).

Music uses *giorno* in tempo markings and titles.

The word appears in Italian restaurant names and occasionally in pretentious English prose reaching for Mediterranean flavor: We spent the giorno wandering the piazza.
