Simply the BEST Italian /English Dicitonary
I am really impressed with this Dictionary. Besides the general layout, which is incredibly clear, it has every word I can think of in it! An unmissable aid to Italian language students. In the centre of the dictionary is a section giving invaluable aids such as numbers, dates, times and even examples of job applications, references, complaints for bad workmanship etc. It is Simply the BEST!!

Oxford-Paravia Italian Dictionary
It is easy to use and I have found everything I have needed for reference purposes in this dictionary, plus lots more. There are many detailed entries and plenty of examples to help you use a word or phrase in the correct context. I have been studying Italian for a year but would say this dictionary would be suitable for complete beginners to the more experienced linguist.

For Italian lerners, who are not English native speakers,

Lean Italian with it,
