To say 'beautiful angel' in Italian you'd use the word angelo for 'angel'. To translate beautiful, it would be 'bello' for a male, and 'bella' for a female- with the superlatives bellissimo or bellissima also often being used. The one confusion you may face is that the word angelo takes the male grammatical gender in Italian so, even if you were addressing a female, mio angelo or 'my angel (masculine)' would be appropriate.
Types of Italian angels
The 2nd of October is a day when Italians might take time to stop and think about our winged celestial companions. This is because the 2nd of October is recognized as guardian angels day, known in Italian as la festa dei angeli custodi.
Italians might also mention angels (or more specifically the locks on an angel's head) at the table when serving up lunch! This is because the very fine, long pasta that is often sold in little nest-shaped bunches is called capelli d'angelo- angel's hair.
Antonyms, or the opposite of beautiful angels
Although you may find plenty of uses for the expression 'beautiful angel', there may be occasions when you'd like to refer to someone (or something) as the exact opposite. In this case, you'd probably choose to say something like brutto demone, with brutto being the Italian word for 'ugly' and demone (pronounced deh-mon-eh) the equivalent of demon.
Angels and demons
Apart from being a phrase you could use to refer to the other-worldly spirits of holy scripture, 'Angels and Demons' (or Angeli e Demoni) is also the title of a 2009 film based on the novel of the same name, written by the acclaimed and controversial author Dan Brown.
The story has most of its scenes set in Rome and many historical and religious landmarks feature in the film. One of these is the Castel Sant' Angelo (or the 'castle of the holy angel') which is a magnificent, cylindrical fortress on the banks of the Tiber river in Rome. This edifice was first built as a mausoleum for the emperor Hadrian, but later served as a castle for numerous popes. In modern times, the Castel Sant' Angelo is used as a museum, and is one of the must-see features on Rome's tourist trail.
