Usage Note
Lascito derives from lasciare (to leave/bequeath) and is used primarily in legal and testamentary contexts for a gift left in a will. It is more specific than eredità (inheritance as a whole) — a lascito is a particular item or sum bequeathed.
Examples
"Il lascito del nonno includeva una vecchia casa."
Natural Translation
The grandfather's bequest included an old house.
