..

In general: always after the noun.

But if on this list, put the adjective first:

altro 

bello

bravo

brutto

buono

caro

cattivo

giovane

grande

lungo

nuovo

piccolo

primo

stesso

vecchio

vero

ultimo

Ex:

un altro giorno

un lungo fiume

Try:

a small house

the first day

..

If adjective BEFORE the noun - it determines the article:

uno studente

un bravo studente

gli amici

i nuovi amici

With modifier (molto, poco, abbastanza, un po'); both are placed AFTER the noun. 

a very new book - un libro molto nuovo.

a very smalll cup - una tazza molto piccola

In short:

The general rule: after.

Sometimes, first. (Which determines the article)

With modifier, always after.

Great work!

😊
