Gestione

Gestione is an Italian noun meaning the act or process of managing, handling, or administering. It derives from the verb gestire (to manage) and ultimately from Latin roots related to bearing or conducting actions. In Italian, gestione denotes the practice of organizing resources and activities to achieve objectives and is used across business, public administration, and technology. It roughly corresponds to the English term "management," though context can call for alternatives such as amministrazione or conduzione.

In business and organizations, gestione covers daily operations and strategic oversight. Common collocations include gestione aziendale (corporate management), gestione finanziaria (financial management), gestione del portafoglio (portfolio management), and gestione delle risorse umane (human resources management). It also appears in asset- or process-specific phrases such as gestione dei crediti (accounts receivable management) or gestione della supply chain.

In public administration, gestione concerns planning, allocation, and control of resources and services. In finance, it appears as gestione patrimoniale (asset management). In law, it can denote administration under an agreement or estate management in certain contexts.

In information technology and computing, gestione appears in phrases such as gestione delle risorse di sistema (system resource management), gestione delle reti (network management), gestione dei dati (data management), and gestione delle identità (identity management).

Nuance and related terms: gestione emphasizes process and practical handling, whereas amministrazione can imply formal authority, and conduzione often stresses leadership and operation of a venture. The term is common in academic, professional, and everyday language as a general label for organizing and controlling activities, resources, and information.
