storia
story
The word 'storia' is used in Italian much the same way as 'story' is used in English. It can mean a tale or narrative, either fictional or true, that is told in spoken or written form. It can also refer to a particular event or sequence of events in the life of a person or the existence of a thing. However, it should be noted that 'storia' is also used to mean 'history' in Italian.
