attuato

Attuato is the Italian past participle of the verb attuare and can function both as a verbal participle in compound tenses and as an adjective modifying nouns. It generally translates to “implemented” or “carried out” in English. The related noun attuazione refers to the act or process of implementing, while attuare means to put into practice, to execute, or to realize a plan, policy, or measure.

In usage, attuato appears in sentences describing actions that have been completed or states resulting from implementation. For example, Il governo ha attuato nuove misure fiscali. The feminine singular form is attuata, and the plural forms are attuati (masc) and attuate (fem). As an adjective, it can modify nouns: un piano attuato (an implemented plan) or misure attuate (measures that have been implemented).

The term is commonly found in legal, administrative, policy, and organizational texts, where attuazione denotes the ongoing or completed process of implementing policies or programs. It is often used alongside synonyms such as realizzato, eseguito, and applicability-focused terms like implementazione.

Etymology: attuare is of Italian origin, with the past participle following the regular -ato pattern typical of verbs in this class. See also: attuazione, implementazione, esecuzione.
