How can I say "really!?" in Italian?

Question

– I'm in love!
– Really!?

What is a good match in Italian for the word "really"? Here the word does not carry any doubt, just excitement.

Welcome to Italian.SE, @Tim!

The best match for "really" in the context that you mention is "davvero":

– I'm in love!
– Really!?

– Mi sono innamorato/a!
– Davvero!?

It depends on context. You could also use: "Sono innamorato/a" - "Veramente?" (In order to express a disbelief or perplexity for example)

But the OP explicitly mentioned «Here the word does not carry any doubt», @Arcsn.

Another common option is:

Non ci credo/non posso crederci (I can't believe it).
