Probably it's because I'm not a native English speaker. Is that the
case that "admiring" and "finding beautiful" is the same in English?

I must have been mislead by the fact that in Italian I can "admire"
the simmetry of a building or the contrast of the colors in a painting
without necessarily implying that they are beautiful.

Probably Italian has retained something more of the latin "mirari"
(looking with marvel, wondering).
