Usage Note

Coerenza describes logical or ethical consistency — staying true to one's principles or maintaining internal logic in an argument. It is a positive quality: una persona di grande coerenza is someone admired for living by their values. Do not confuse with coesione (cohesion, physical sticking together), which is more material.

Examples

"La coerenza nelle sue posizioni è ammirevole."
