Definition
Linguaggio refers to language or communication. It encompasses both verbal and non-verbal forms of expression used by individuals or groups to convey meaning.

Think of linguaggio as an artist's palette with different colors representing various forms of communication - spoken words, gestures, facial expressions, and body language. Just like an artist uses different colors to create a masterpiece, individuals use linguaggio to express themselves and connect with others.
