Usage notes
- Use 'attraverso' for movement *through* a space (e.g., a tunnel) or *across* a surface (e.g., a road). For 'through' in time, prefer 'durante' or 'per'.
- Avoid confusing 'attraverso' with 'tramite'—'tramite' means 'by means of' (e.g., 'tramite email'), not physical movement.
- No contractions; always write 'attraverso' in full. Never elide with articles (e.g., 'attraverso il' is correct, not 'attravers l').
