Also means
obscurity
Usage Note
Oscurità ends in an accented vowel, so it is invariable: l'oscurità is the same in singular and plural. It can be physical (absence of light) or figurative ('the obscurity of medieval history'). Stress always falls on the final syllable.
Examples
"Camminavamo nell'oscurità totale."
Natural Translation
We were walking in total darkness.
