Also means
idealist
Usage Note
Idealista functions as both an adjective and a noun: una persona idealista (an idealistic person) or un idealista (an idealist). Like all -ista nouns/adjectives, the singular has a single form for both genders (il/la idealista), while the plural distinguishes: gli idealisti (m pl), le idealiste (f pl). It is often used with a slightly critical edge in Italian — implying someone naive about practical realities.
Examples
"È un giovane molto idealista."
Natural Translation
He is a very idealistic young man.
