This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.In Italian, atto refers to a specific action or event that has taken place. It can be used in legal contexts to refer to a formal document or contract, such as an atto di vendita (deed of sale) for a property. Atto can also refer to a performance or show, such as an atto unico (one-act play) in theater.
The word atto is often used in everyday language to describe any type of action or behavior, whether positive or negative. For example, someone might say 'ha fatto un atto gentile' (he did a kind act) or 'è stato un atto di violenza' (it was an act of violence).
It's important to note that the plural form of atto, atti, is commonly used in legal and administrative contexts in Italy. For example, a collection of official documents might be referred to as gli atti del processo (the documents of the trial).
