Usage notes
- Use 'proseguire' for continuing an action or journey, not for resuming after a pause (use 'riprendere' instead).
- Auxiliary is 'essere' in compound tenses when intransitive (e.g., 'è proseguito'). Use 'avere' when transitive.
- More formal than 'continuare'; common in written Italian or formal speech.
