Usage Note

Diversità is an invariable noun — its plural is also diversità, not diversitàs or a modified form. Like città and università, it ends in an accented vowel and does not change in the plural: molte diversità (many diversities). It is widely used in political, social, and biological contexts for diversity, and also simply means 'difference' between two things.
