Your grade school English teacher told you repeatedly that you couldnt use more than one negative word in the same sentence. In Italian, though, the double negative is the acceptable format, and even three negative words can be used in a sentence:

Non viene nessuno. (No one is coming.)

Non vogliamo niente/nulla. (We dont want anything.)

Non ho mai visto nessuno in quella stanza. (I didnt see anyone in that room.)

non...nulla
nothing

non...n
