Usage notes
- Use fatto for a fact or matter; use evento for planned/public events, and storia for a narrative or story.
- In news and formal writing, i fatti often means 'the facts' or 'what happened,' more objective than opinioni.
- As a noun, fatto is masculine: il fatto, i fatti. Don't confuse it with the past participle fatto 'done/made.'
