Notas de uso
- Use assedio for sustained pressure or encirclement; for a single attack, attacco is more natural.
- In news and figurative use, assedio often takes a + noun: sotto assedio, porre/mettere sotto assedio.
- Don’t confuse it with folla: assedio suggests blocking, harassment, or pressure, not just a crowd.
