Almost no difference in meaning. "differente" sounds more formal, but they can both be used in either formal or casual situations. More or less like 違う and 異なる in Japanese.

From Treccani online dictionary:
Diverso: Che non è uguale né simile, che si scosta per natura, aspetto, qualità da altro oggetto, o che è addirittura altra cosa (si distingue perciò da differente, in quanto la differenza può essere anche parziale e per singoli, talora minimi, aspetti, mentre la diversità è per lo più totale)
Something that is not equivalent nor similar, which differs in nature, aspect, quality from another object, or that is even another thing (it diverges in this from "differente", in that a difference can also be partial or in singular, at times minimal, aspects, while diversity is in a general case total)
Anyway, in common use they are almost interchangeable.
