Vincitori

Vincitori is the Italian term used to refer to the people or teams who have won a competition, prize, title, or election. It is the masculine plural form of vincitore; the feminine plural is vincitrici, and the singular forms are vincitore (masculine) and vincitrice (feminine). The word derives from Latin vincere, meaning to conquer or to win, with the agentive suffix -tore.

In everyday language, vincitori are identified in official results, award ceremonies, sports tournaments, contests, and political elections. The designation often appears in headlines, announcements, and records, sometimes complemented by the prize or title won. In many contexts, the term is used to refer to winners collectively, particularly when the group is mixed gender.

Examples: I vincitori del concorso riceveranno un premio di 5.000 euro. Le vincitrici del torneo hanno superato avversarie più esperte. I vincitori delle elezioni locali hanno ottenuto la maggioranza. Note: in Italian, vincitori is used for male or mixed groups, while vincitrici is the feminine plural form for a group of female or mixed winners.
