A pattern with P-orientation, a marked verb morphology (the auxiliary essere 'BE', venire 'COME', andare 'GO' + the past participle of the lexical verb), A suppression/deletion (optionally surfacing as a prepositional phrase introduced by the prepositions da 'by'/da parte di 'on behalf of' + A), topicalization and subjectization of non-Agent. The auxiliary is realized by: (i) BE (essere), in imperfective and perfective tenses; (ii) COME (venire), in imperfective tenses only; (iii) GO (andare), with deontic value and, marginally, in perfective tenses with some accomplishments. Passivization is possible with achievements (e.g. strappare 'tear'), accomplishments (e.g. bruciare 'burn', affondare 'sink', costruire 'build', uccidere 'kill'), activities (e.g. dire 'tell', abbracciare 'hug'), and marginally with states (e.g. vedere 'see', amare 'love'), but with non generic Ps (Cennamo 2003: 53, Cennamo 2010).
