Aggiornamento

Aggiornamento is a noun that refers to the process of modernization or bringing something up to date.  Our word of the day comes from the Italian word aggionare (ah gee oh NARE ay) a verb that means ‘to update.’ Here’s an example of aggiornamento in use: I understand the aggiornamento of those old stadiums from a standpoint of public safety. But it seems to me that there's beauty in an old structure that simply doesn’t survive the modernization process.
