Usage notes
- Use attraversare for crossing physical spaces or passing through periods. For crossing out text, use cancellare or barrare, not attraversare.
- With essere as auxiliary in intransitive movement: siamo attraversati? No. Usually use avere: ho attraversato la strada.
- Common with direct objects like strada, ponte, città, mare. Don't add per unless you mean movement through an area.
