Italian word
romantico
romantic; also relating to Romanticism (the 19th-century movement)
Looks like
romantic
relating to romance/love; also the Romantic literary period
⚠️ The trap
Both languages use 'romantico/romantic' for two things: (1) relating to love, and (2) the 19th-century artistic movement (Romanticism). The trap: Italian 'romantico' emphasises emotional depth and nature in the literary sense. 'Romantico' ≠ 'romanzo' (novel).
To say "relating to romance/love; also the Romantic literary period" in Italian:
romantico (correct in both senses)
"romantico" in English means:
romantic; also relating to Romanticism (the 19th-century movement)
Example
"Keats e Shelley sono i poeti romantici inglesi più famosi."
"Keats and Shelley are the most famous English Romantic poets."
