English 'vivacious' is used almost exclusively for people. Italian 'vivace' is used for people, colors ('rosso vivace' = bright red), and music ('allegro vivace' = a musical tempo). Broader usage.
To say "vivacious = attractively lively and animated (usually for people)" in Italian:
vivace (lively/brisk/bright — broader than English vivacious)
