Usage Note

Autenticità ends in -à and is therefore invariable in the plural (like città, libertà). It never takes a written accent change in the plural. The adjective is autentico and the adverb is autenticamente. In legal Italian, autenticità di un documento means the certified genuineness of a document. In everyday speech it often carries a positive connotation of being 'real' or unpretentious.

Examples

"Apprezzo l'autenticità delle sue parole."

Natural Translation

I appreciate the authenticity of his words.
