Usage Note
Impersonale as used in grammar describes verb constructions with no real subject, such as piove (it rains) or bisogna (it is necessary). As an adjective it also describes a manner, space, or style that is cold and lacking personal character. The seed POS 'noun' is inaccurate — it functions as an adjective (and grammatical term used as a noun in metalinguistic contexts).
Examples
"Il verbo 'piovere' è impersonale in italiano."
Natural Translation
The verb 'to rain' is impersonal in Italian.
