Cultural Note
Figo/figa is essential Italian slang meaning 'hot' or 'cool,' used for both people and things. Be aware that 'figa' (feminine) is also vulgar slang for female genitalia in some regions, so context matters enormously. In northern Italy and among younger speakers, it's a perfectly normal compliment; in formal settings, stick with 'attraente.'
