Usage notes
- More formal than sembrare; common in news, reports, and official language when stating what emerges from facts or investigation.
- Use risultare + adjective/noun: È risultato innocente; La soluzione risulta difficile. Less natural for immediate personal impressions.
- Often followed by da: Risulta dai documenti che.... This means 'according to what emerges from,' not simple physical origin.
