Adjectives tend to follow nouns in Italian.
Specifically, the noun usually goes before the adjective which describes it in Italian. But an adjective may be placed before its noun for emphasis. It likewise may go first when there are two or more adjectives to the same noun.
In language, the placement of adjectives before or after a noun can impact the meaning and emphasis in a sentence. In English, adjectives often come before the noun ("red apple"), while in other languages like Spanish and French, they often come after ("manzana roja" in Spanish). The placement of adjectives can affect the flow of sentences and the clarity of meaning, so it is important to consider the rules of adjective placement in each language.
