Months of the Year in Italian
The Italian months are close to their English names once you know that gi is a soft j sound. None of them takes a capital letter.

In January, and writing a date
For a month, use a: a gennaio. In gennaio is also correct and sounds slightly more formal.
Seasons take in: in primavera, in estate.
A date is il, the number, then the month: il 3 maggio. The first of the month is the only ordinal, il primo maggio.
Written dates run day first, so 3/5/2026 is the third of May.
- Il mio compleanno รจ ad aprile.My birthday is in April.
- Ci vediamo il 15 giugno.See you on the 15th of June.
