✦Grammar Breakdown
Alle7delmattinostanza210
Alle (a + le)
‘Alle’ is the preposition ‘a’ (at) combined with the plural feminine article ‘le’, used before clock times (e.g., alle 7).
del (di + il)
‘del’ contracts ‘di’ (of) + ‘il’ (the) and introduces a noun phrase that specifies a part of the day.
mattino
A masculine singular noun meaning ‘morning’; paired with ‘del’ it forms ‘del mattino’ (of the morning).
stanza + number
‘Stanza’ means ‘room’; the number that follows is read as a cardinal (e.g., 210 = duecentodieci).
Numbers in time
When telling time, the hour is spoken as a cardinal number (sette) without the article.

✕Common Mistakes
a le 7 del mattino, stanza 210.
‘a le’ must be contracted to ‘alle’; writing them separately is incorrect.
Alle 7 del mattina, stanza 210.
‘Mattina’ is a noun; the correct prepositional phrase is ‘del mattino’ or ‘di mattina’.
Alle 7 del mattino, stanza duecentodieci.
When the number follows a noun, you keep the cardinal form (210) rather than spelling it out fully.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, exact hours are introduced with ‘alle’ (a + le) for feminine plural nouns like ‘ore’. You can also say ‘di mattina’ instead of ‘del mattino’, but the latter is a bit more formal. Italians often use the 24‑hour clock in written schedules, so you might also see ‘07:00, stanza 210’. When giving directions inside a building, adding ‘nella’ (in the) before ‘stanza’ sounds slightly more natural, especially in spoken Italian.
