Redatti

Redatti is the masculine plural past participle of the Italian verb redigere, and it also functions as an adjective meaning drafted or prepared. The base verb redigere signifies to draft, compose, or redact, and related forms appear throughout administrative and legal language. In Italian, redatti agrees with masculine plural nouns, while feminine plural is redatte; singular forms are redatto (masc) and redatta (fem).

In usage, redatti commonly describes documents, reports, or records that have been completed or prepared. For example, one might encounter phrases such as documenti redatti or relazioni redatte in official or bureaucratic texts. The term is especially frequent in legal, governmental, and administrative contexts where finished materials are distinguished from drafts.

Redatti can also appear as a surname, though it is relatively uncommon. Italian onomastics show that many surnames originate from past participles or occupations, and Redatti may reflect a family association with drafting or editing activities in historical contexts. The surname is more likely to be found in Italy or among Italian diaspora communities.

Etymologically, redatti derives from the Latin redigere, meaning to bring together, set in order, or complete. The word has cognates in other Romance languages and retains its sense of finishing a drafting or compiling process within contemporary Italian usage.
