Usage Note

Committente denotes the party who commissions a work or service — equivalent to 'client' in a contractual sense, but specifically the one giving the commission rather than simply buying goods. It is common in construction (il committente dei lavori), art (il committente dell'opera), and legal contexts. The gender follows the person: il committente (m), la committente (f). Plural: committenti.

Examples

"Il committente ha approvato il progetto finale."
