Italian word
azzurro
light blue, sky blue
Looks like
azure
a bright blue colour, often used in poetry/heraldry
⚠️ The trap
These both describe blue, but 'azzurro' in Italian is specifically light/sky blue and is the colour of Italy's national sports teams ('gli Azzurri'). English 'azure' covers a slightly different shade and is literary. Don't use them interchangeably across languages.
To say "a bright blue colour, often used in poetry/heraldry" in Italian:
N/A (same colour range)
"azzurro" in English means:
light blue, sky blue
Example
"Il cielo azzurro di agosto è bellissimo."
"The sky-blue August sky is beautiful."
