From Lesson 404:The word tutto with pronouns (tutti noi)·Italian

Questions & Answers about La solidarietà tra tutti noi ha migliorato il morale della squadra.

Why is it tutti noi instead of tutti di noi for "all of us"?
In Italian, when the quantifier tutto is followed by a tonic personal pronoun like noi, voi, or loro, you connect them directly without a preposition. While English uses "of" for "all of us", Italian simply puts them side-by-side as tutti noi.
We usually put a definite article after tutto. Why isn't there one before noi?
You are right that tutto usually requires a definite article before a noun, like in tutta la squadra. However, personal pronouns never take definite articles. Therefore, the rule simplifies to just the quantifier matched for gender and number plus the pronoun.
Why is it il morale (masculine) instead of la morale?
The gender completely changes the meaning of this noun. Il morale is masculine and means a person's or group's state of mind, which fits perfectly here. La morale is feminine and refers to ethics or the moral of a story.
Why does migliorare use avere as its auxiliary verb here?
The verb migliorare can be both transitive and intransitive. When it is transitive and takes a direct object like il morale in this sentence, it uses avere. If the subject itself were improving without a direct object, like saying the team improved, it would be intransitive and use essere to become la squadra è migliorata.
