Usage notes
- Usually refers to a religious or ceremonial procession, not a general parade. For festive street events, sfilata or corteo may fit better.
- Common with fare: fare una processione. Also in in + noun phrases: in processione = in a line/procession.
- Mostly neutral, but often tied to Catholic contexts in Italy; using it can sound more solemn than corteo.
