Can I place a proposito at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?

Whenever you follow an indefinite pronoun like qualcosa (something/anything) or niente (nothing) with an adjective, you must link them with the preposition di. Additionally, the adjective must always be in the masculine singular form, which is why we use nuovo.
What exactly does the word spunto mean, and why use it instead of idea?
While it translates well to "idea" in this context, spunto carries the specific nuance of a "cue", "prompt", or "starting point". It is frequently used in creative or collaborative settings to describe a springboard for further inspiration or discussion, rather than just a fully formed concept.
