Usage Note
Impazzire takes essere as its auxiliary (è impazzito = he went crazy). Beyond its literal psychiatric sense, it is widely used idiomatically: impazzire per qualcuno means to be crazy about someone, and far impazzire means to drive someone mad. In cooking, la maionese è impazzita means the mayonnaise has broken (separated).
