Guidato

Guidato is the past participle of the Italian verb guidare, meaning to guide or lead. In Italian it functions as an adjective and in compound tenses, agreeing in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example, Il veicolo è guidato da un autista shows guidato in a passive construction meaning the vehicle is driven by a driver.

Common uses include descriptions of guided experiences and of things operated or steered under guidance. A tour or visit that is organized with a guide is often described as una visita guidata or un tour guidato. A route or system designed to be navigated with assistance can be referred to as percorso guidato. The feminine form is guida? No, the feminine form of the adjective is guidata, as in una visita guidata.

In grammar, guidato has standard gender and number variants: guidato (masculine singular), guidata (feminine singular), guidati (masculine plural), guidate (feminine plural). It is widely used in everyday Italian to convey that guidance, supervision, or leading action is provided. The term can also function in contexts such as transportation or tours where the presence of a guide or directed instruction is implied.

Beyond its verbal origin, guidato can appear as a surname in rare cases and may occur in compound phrases where the emphasis is on the result of guiding rather than the guide themselves. The related noun is guida, meaning the guide or guiding principle.
