Usage Note

Piccola is the feminine singular form of piccolo. In Italian, adjectives agree with the noun they modify: una piccola casa but un piccolo appartamento. The word can also be used as a term of endearment: piccola mia ('my little one'). For quantities or abstract size, poco (little/few) is used instead — piccolo refers to physical or perceived size.

Examples

"Abita in una piccola casa in campagna."
