Note the di ff erence between the two sentences ‘Non mi piace il ca ff è’ and ‘A me non piace il ca ff è’. The fi rst simply states that I don’t like co ff ee, while the second puts the emphasis on the pronoun ‘me’, implying that there are people who do like co ff ee but I am not one of them. The same applies to the sentences ‘Mi sembra giusto’ and ‘A me sembra giusto’: the second sentence stresses the fact that there are other people who don’t  think it’s fair. 

3 As the above examples suggest, stressed direct and indirect object pro- nouns cannot be used to refer to object s. When referring to objects, the noun has to be repeated (as is also generally the case in English):

4 The stressed forms of the object pronouns are used after all prepositions (see Unit 8), not just a . This is true even when no emphasis is required:

* When su , sopra , dopo , contro  are used with a personal pronoun, the pro- noun is preceded by the preposition di  (see Unit 8, paragraphs 9, 20). 

5 The stressed forms are also always used when the verb has two pronoun direct or indirect objects, even where no emphasis is required:
