1. In Italian, the gender of this possessive agrees with the thing(s) owned, not with the owner(s).
2. The article ("il", "la", etc.) is omitted when the possessive refers to a member of the family; e.g. ("mia madre"), but not with "loro" or "Loro" (because the article is required to indicate the gender)
3. With some nouns (such as affari, casa, colpa and modo) the possessive may optionally come after the noun, with the article omitted (eg, "andiamo a casa mia" - let's go to my house)
