dallinfanzia

Dall'infanzia is an Italian prepositional phrase that means "since childhood" or "from infancy." It is formed from the preposition da combined with the definite article l’ and the noun infanzia; the standard written form is dall'infanzia. A version without the apostrophe, dallinfanzia, is considered nonstandard in contemporary Italian.

In usage, dall'infanzia denotes the starting point in time of a trait, habit, tendency, or condition, indicating that something has its origins in early life. It is commonly found in biographical, psychological, and literary contexts, where authors describe how abilities, preferences, or experiences emerged early and influenced later development. The expression often appears in variants such as fin dall'infanzia or sin dall'infanzia, both of which convey a similar meaning with slight stylistic differences.

Examples include: "Ha dimostrato talento fin dall'infanzia" (He has shown talent since childhood), "Sin dall'infanzia ha avuto una passione per la musica," and "Le sue paure risalgono sin dall'infanzia." These forms are interchangeable in many cases, though sin dall'infanzia can carry a slightly more formal or emphatic tone.

See also infanzia, sin dall'infanzia, fin dall'infanzia, sviluppo infantile. In translation, dall'infanzia is commonly rendered in English as "since childhood" or "from infancy."
