Is there a stop in front of the hospital?
'Ospedale' — 'os-pe-DA-le'. Four syllables; stress on the third.
Ask when heading to a hospital and you want to know if you can be dropped right at the entrance or if you need to walk from a nearby stop.
'Davanti a' means 'in front of'. 'All'ospedale' is a contraction of 'a + l'ospedale'. Hospitals in Italian cities are major transit hubs and usually have dedicated stops nearby.

Large Italian hospitals ('policlinici') are often named after the area or a historical figure. Their bus stop shares the hospital's name, making navigation relatively straightforward even without local knowledge.
