That's Amore!
Statue in La Pietra Gardens, Florence, Italy
There are many ways to say, "I love you," in Italian (and not just on San Valentino!)
The first thing to understand is the difference between two common verbs, amare and voglere. (Amore is the noun for love.) You don't want to mix up these verbs:
"Ti amo" means "I love you" in a romantic fashion. Say this to your partner.
"Ti volgio bene" means "I love you" in a platonic, family-way. Say this to your best friend or family members.
Of course, there are even more creative ways to declare your love:
Mi hai stregato / stregata. (You have bewitched me.)
Potrei guardarti tutto il giorno. (I could watch you all day.)
Se non ci fossi dovrei inventarti. (If you weren't, I'd invent you.)
