Usage Note
Piana denotes a flat expanse of land, often used in place names (la Piana di Catania). It is the feminine form; the masculine piano more often means 'floor' or 'plan'. Do not confuse with pianura, which is the standard word for a large plain or lowland region.
Examples
"La piana era coperta di nebbia al mattino."
Natural Translation
The plain was covered in fog in the morning.
