brutale

Brutale is an Italian adjective meaning brutal or savage. It is used to describe actions, events, or objects that are harsh, intense, or uncompromising, and can carry connotations of violence or blunt force. The word derives from Latin brutalis, via French brutal, and has cognates in English such as brutal.

In Italian usage, brutale can be applied to people, weather, or aesthetics to convey a sense of raw power, severity, or unrefined energy. In broader cultural contexts, the term is sometimes employed to emphasize a bold, uncompromising style in art, music, design, or performance.

Notable uses: The best-known modern usage of the term as a proper name is the MV Agusta Brutale, a family of naked sport motorcycles produced by the Italian company MV Agusta. The line was introduced in 2001 and is recognized for its aggressive styling, compact handling, and high-performance engineering. Over the years, the Brutale series expanded to multiple variants across different engine displacements, maintaining a reputation for bold, unapologetic design and power.
