importi

Importi is the plural of the Italian noun importo, which denotes an amount of money, a sum, or the value associated with a transaction. In banking, accounting, contracts, and taxation, importi refer to monetary figures such as the importo dovuto, l'importo totale, or l'importo imponibile. The term is used for both gross and net values and can appear with qualifiers like lordo, netto, minimo, or massimo.

In practice, importi appear on invoices (l'importo da pagare), quotes (importi indicati nel preventivo), and financial statements (importi attivi o passivi). It is common to specify currency alongside the figure, for example in euro or another currency. The plural form is used when several sums are involved, such as a breakdown of an invoice into multiple importi per line item.

Linguistic notes: importo is more formal and precise than synonyms such as soma or cifra; importi is the standard plural for multiple monetary figures. The word should not be confused with the term importazione (imports) or with the English word import, which has different meanings. In legal and commercial contexts, accurate use of importi helps clarify obligations, taxation, and payments.
