Questions & Answers about Che capolavoro maestoso viene esposto nel museo!
Why isn't there an article after Che, like in the English 'What a...'?
In Italian exclamations, che connects directly to the noun. You never use an indefinite article (un, una, ecc.) after it. So, 'What a masterpiece!' is simply Che capolavoro!
Could I use Quanto instead of Che here?
Why does the sentence use viene esposto instead of è esposto?
This is the dynamic passive voice. Using a conjugated form of venire instead of essere emphasizes the action of the artwork being placed on display, rather than just describing its static state of already being there. It translates closer to 'gets exhibited' or 'is being exhibited'.
Does the adjective maestoso have to go after the noun in an exclamation?
