Nove

Nove is the Italian word for the number nine. It functions as a cardinal numeral in ordinary speech and in mathematics, used to denote a quantity such as nove persone (nine people) or nove giorni (nine days). In Italian, numerals agree with the nouns they modify, so the form may vary with gender and number of the noun.

Nove is also the name of a comune in northeastern Italy. It is located in the Veneto region, in the province of Vicenza. The municipality includes the town of Nove and surrounding countryside, and it forms part of the broader cultural and administrative landscape of the area.

The town has a historical association with ceramics. The Nove area has long been a center for pottery and majolica, with a tradition of ceramic production dating back to the early modern period. Today, ceramics remain an important part of the local economy and cultural heritage, with workshops and studios that continue the region’s craft traditions. The combination of historical craft and contemporary manufacturing contributes to Nove’s regional character within Veneto.
