I am 'ploughing ahead - There's an English idiom - with learning Italian on Duolingo. Many Italian words end in o, for the masculine, for feminine, or e. Plurals may end in i.
I also looked at a bilingual brochure from Commune di Cannara. It is pretty obvious - another English idiom - that via is way or road, ponte is bridge
