Questions & Answers about Ieri ho visitato un borgo medievale e ho scattato molte foto.

Why is "visitato" used with "ho" instead of "sono"?
In Italian, ho is used for transitive verbs—those that act on a direct object—while sono is typically used with intransitive verbs that don’t take a direct object. Since visitare (to visit) is transitive (you can visit something), you use ho followed by the past participle visitato.
What does "borgo medievale" mean specifically?
A borgo is a small town or village, often with historical significance. Medievale means medieval. So borgo medievale suggests an old, small settlement that dates back, or is reminiscent of, the Middle Ages.
Why do you say "ho scattato" when talking about taking pictures?
In Italian, scattare foto literally means to snap photos. You use the verb scattare instead of something like fare (to make or do) when referring to taking pictures. As with other transitive verbs, it pairs with ho in the past tense to form ho scattato.
Is there a difference between "molte foto" and "molto foto"?
Yes. You should say molte foto because foto is feminine plural. Molto changes depending on the gender and number of the noun it modifies: molte is the form used before feminine plural nouns.
