Once more.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In concerts, Italians don't usually shout 'Encore!' (which is actually a French word). They shout 'Bis!' to ask the artist to play a song 'di nuovo'. The 'Passeggiata' involves walking the same route 'di nuovo' multiple times. It's not about the destination, but the repetition of the social ritual. The theme of 'returning' is central to many Italian films (like 'Cinema Paradiso'). Characters often return to their roots 'di nuovo' after years away. Italian religious festivals are annual cycles where the same processions happen 'di nuovo' every year, reinforcing community identity.
The 'Again' Default
When in doubt, use 'di nuovo'. It's never wrong for 'again' and sounds very natural.
Adjective Alert
Never use 'di nuovo' to describe a brand new item you just bought. That's just 'nuovo'.
