I just love when duolingo offers more than an option of translation and even so, I get it wrong.
In my experience, "Davvero" is used to agree with someone.
Like: "It's a nice day today."
"Si, davvero."
is this used when you really want to say : no need , thanks but you shouldn't have done
No. This is used when you can't believe what happened to someone and ask him/her why that is so.
I think it would be translated as "really" if it is in the masculine: «proprio». Some examples would be: «È proprio qui!» = "It is right here!" and «Lei è proprio intelligente.» = "She is really intelligent."
Is davvero used always as when someone os questioning something? Like, REALLY? like if someone says "prendiamo la tigre dallo zoo" you ask "davvero? ?"

So let me think, davvero is a compound : Da vero, so because in many Italian compounds they double a consonant, right ? eg sopra tutto becomes soprattutto.
