great interest and eagerness
⚠️ The trap
Good match. But Italian 'entusiasmo' is used more freely and enthusiastically (pun intended) in everyday speech. Also note 'entusiasta' (enthusiastic person/adjective) — learners sometimes incorrectly use 'entusiastico' (formal/rare) instead of 'entusiasta'.
To say "great interest and eagerness" in Italian:
entusiasmo
"entusiasmo" in English means:
enthusiasm, eagerness, passion
Example
"Affronta tutto con grande entusiasmo."
