An Italian plural form of cavaliere; multiple Italian knights, gentlemen, or men of honor (used in Italian or Italianate English contexts).
Direct Italian plural of 'cavaliere,' derived from Latin 'caballarius' meaning 'horseman.' This is the authentic Italian form used in Italian texts and when English speakers referenced Italian nobility or culture. The '-i' ending is the standard Italian masculine plural.
In Italian, the plural 'cavalieri' has special cultural weight because many famous Renaissance artists, patrons, and intellectuals held the title of cavaliere—Cavalieri Rossini, Cavalieri Vivaldi. The Italian plural preserves the exact social rank system those men belonged to.
