gestito

Gestito is the past participle of the Italian verb gestire, meaning to manage, operate, or administer. In Italian, gestito functions both as a participle in compound tenses and as an adjective describing something that has been managed or administered. For example: il progetto è stato gestito con cura; una situazione gestita dall’ente. When used as an adjective, it agrees in gender and number: un sistema gestito, una procedura gestita, i sistemi gestiti, le procedure gestite.

Grammatically, gestito forms the perfect tenses with the auxiliary avere: ho gestito, hai gestito, ha gestito. In passive voice, the past participle appears with essere: la situazione è stata gestita, i progetti sono stati gestiti. In modern usage, gestito is common in business, administration and IT terminology, where it often indicates that a function or infrastructure is overseen by a provider. For example, servizio gestito denotes a managed service outsourced for ongoing management.

Origin and related terms: gestire derives from Latin roots related to bearing, carrying out actions and performing tasks, giving rise to gestione (management) and gestito (managed). The word is widely understood in both formal and technical registers, and it is frequently used in phrases that specify who manages something, such as "gestito da" followed by the responsible party.

See also: gestire, gestione, servizio gestito, managed services. In translation, gestito commonly corresponds to "managed" in English when describing services, infrastructure, or processes that are operated and maintained by an external provider or by a designated team.
