Easy cryptograms in Italian

Crytograms are a form of cryptography, or secret code. Most cryptograms used as puzzles follow a simple substitution code, where each letter stands consistently for another letter. Each puzzle's code is different. In every language, you must be aware of the structure of the language to solve a cryptogram. For example, remember that most Italian words end in a vowel. In any language, you should look at patterns such as frequency and repetition.

The easiest way to learn cryptograms is through simple category lists. Try these (answers below.) Each list has a different code.
