alla

This is the 15th most frequent Italian word.


alla

"Alla" in Italian means "to the" or "at the," combining "a" (to/at) and "la" (the, feminine singular).


Here, 'alla' means 'in the style of', connecting 'pizza' with the method or tradition of preparation, specifically Neapolitan.

Mi piace la pizza alla napoletana.

I like Neapolitan-style pizza.


In this case, 'alla' translates to 'at the' and is used to indicate a specific point in time, connecting 'fine' (end) with the event (the film).

Alla fine del film, ero commosso.

At the end of the movie, I was moved.


In this sentence, 'alla' is a contraction of 'a' (to) and 'la' (the), used before the noun 'stazione' to indicate movement towards a location.

Vado alla stazione.

I am going to the station.
