Usage notes
- Use storico or figurative. For modern property, prefer tenuta, proprietà, or territorio, not feudo.
- In figurative use, it often suggests unchecked control or political patronage: il suo feudo elettorale.
- Not the same as faida: faida means vendetta/feud; feudo is the territory or sphere of power.
