Usage Note
Bizzarria denotes a peculiar, odd quality or a whimsical notion. Unlike stranezza (mere strangeness), bizzarria often implies an entertaining or charming oddness. The plural bizzarrie is common: le bizzarrie della vita (life's quirks). The root adjective is bizzarro (bizarre, eccentric), which in Italian does not carry the strongly negative connotation that English 'bizarre' sometimes does.
Examples
"Le sue bizzarrie lo rendono simpatico."
Natural Translation
His eccentricities make him likeable.
