Dellistituzione

Dell’istituzione, written in its proper form dell'istituzione, is the Italian genitive construction meaning “of the institution.” It is a prepositional phrase formed from di + l’istituzione with elision before a vowel, and it functions to attribute possession, relation, or attribution to an institution rather than to denote a specific concept on its own.

The term is widely used in legal, administrative, historical, and academic texts to indicate something associated with a particular institution—its rules, mission, governance, responsibilities, or traditions. It appears in phrases such as the norms dell’istituzione, the mandate dell’istituzione, or the history dell’istituzione, serving to situate statements within an institutional context.

Etymology and usage context: dell’istituzione derives from the Latin root institutio and the Italian noun istituzione meaning “institution.” As a generic linguistic form, it does not designate a single doctrine or theory but serves as a reference point to identify material related to an institution. Its exact sense is determined by the surrounding sentence, whether describing authority, policy, or organizational legacy. See also istituzione, istituzionale, ente.
