Cultural Note
In Italian, both 'mattina' and 'mattino' mean morning, though 'mattina' is more common in everyday speech. The contraction 'stamattina' (this morning) is used far more than 'questa mattina.' Italian mornings typically start with a quick espresso at home or a cappuccino e cornetto at the local bar.
