Significado
Commenting on pleasant weather or mood.
Contexto cultural
Italians have a high 'weather sensitivity'. A sunny day is seen as a moral imperative to be happy and social. In the South, a 'bella giornata' can sometimes be 'too' beautiful (too hot), leading to the 'controra'—the afternoon silence when everyone stays inside. In cities like Milan, which are often foggy or grey, a 'bella giornata' is celebrated with much more visible excitement. In Italian-American communities, the phrase is often preserved as a nostalgic link to the 'Old Country' and its climate.

Gender Agreement
Never say 'Che bello giornata'. It sounds very jarring to Italian ears.
