    The acute accent may be used on e and o to represent close-mid vowels when they are stressed in a position other than the default second-to-last syllable; this use of acute is generally only mandatory in the final syllable. Since final o is never close-mid, ó is very rarely encountered in written Italian. The grave accent may be used on e and o when they represent open-mid vowels. All vowels aside from e employ only the grave accent in most texts. Both acute and grave accent may sometimes be used to distinguish homographs.

    The circumflex accent can be used to mark the contraction of two vowels, especially two I's. For example, it can be used to differentiate words like geni ('genes') and genî ('geniuses'). However, its use quite rare, and seen as archaic. In modern Italian, it's preferred the use of tonic accent to mark the difference (e.g. principi: it means 'principles' if the accent is on first i and 'princes' if it's on second one. To distinguish them, you can write principî ('principles'), but it's a little obsolete: usually, if there's a possibility of a misunderstanding (seguiamo i principi della Chiesa: we follow the theology or the theologists?), you write princìpi ('principles') and prìncipi ('princes')).
