rivestita

Rivestita is the feminine singular form of the Italian participle and adjective rivestire, meaning that something has been covered, clad, or faced with a material. As an adjective, rivestita agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes (e.g., una superficie rivestita, parete rivestita). The corresponding forms are rivestito (masculine singular), rivestiti (masculine plural), and rivestite (feminine plural).

The term is commonly used in architecture, construction, design, and art to indicate that a surface or object has been given a protective or decorative outer layer. Typical contexts include walls, facades, floors, furniture, and fixtures. For example, una facciata rivestita in marmo describes a facade covered with marble; un mobile rivestito in pelle refers to a piece of furniture clad in leather. It can also appear in technical or industrial descriptions to denote surfaces coated with metal, ceramic, composite, or other materials.

Usage notes: rivestita is usually followed by di or con to specify the covering material (e.g., rivestita di piastrelle, rivestita con lamine metalliche). The term emphasizes the finished state of the surface after the application of the outer layer, rather than the act of applying it. Related nouns include rivestimento (coating, cladding) and rivestire (to cover, to clad).
