Usage Note

Veritiero describes a person or account that tells the truth; it is slightly more formal than onesto ('honest'). A racconto veritiero is a truthful account, while veridico is a near-synonym used especially for facts or testimonies. Do not confuse veritiero with vero ('true') — vero describes a state of fact, while veritiero describes the intent or character of a speaker or narrative.

Examples

"Ha dato una testimonianza veritiera dei fatti."

Natural Translation

He gave a truthful account of the facts.
