文化背景

The use of food metaphors like 'cotto' reflects the central role of the kitchen in Italian social and emotional life. Many Italian 'canzoni d'amore' use this phrase to describe the overwhelming nature of young love. The 'innamorato cotto' is a staple character in Italian romantic comedies (Commedia all'italiana), often portrayed as a bumbling but lovable man. In the South, the expression might be accompanied by more intense hand gestures to show the 'heat' of the heart.

Yes, 'innamorato cotto' (male) and 'innamorata cotta' (female).

No, you wouldn't say you are 'innamorato cotto' of pizza. You would just say 'Amo la pizza'.

It's more of an informal idiom than pure slang. Everyone from kids to grandparents uses it.
