agevolato

Agevolato is the past participle of the verb agevolare and functions as an adjective meaning facilitated or assisted. It describes measures, conditions, or products that offer advantages or lighter requirements. The term is widely used in administrative and legal language to designate favorable regimes or instruments, often paired with nouns such as regime, credito, or prezzo. In fiscal and economic policy, a "regime agevolato" indicates tax or administrative relief intended to ease compliance or reduce costs for particular groups or activities, such as small businesses, startups, certain regions, or specific sectors. In finance, "credito agevolato" or "finanziamento agevolato" denotes loans or guarantees provided on more favorable terms, frequently supported by public funds, guarantees, or subsidies. In consumer or social policy, it can refer to discounted services or prices for eligible populations (students, seniors, low-income households). The concept is contrasted with ordinary or non-agevolato terms to emphasize the advantage granted. The usage is common in legislative texts, regulations, and public tenders; the exact scope of benefits depends on accompanying provisions and the institution administering the program. Etymology: from agevolare, to facilitate or ease; the term conveys the idea of easing a burden or creating favorable conditions.
