Usage Note

Rimodellare combines ri- (again) and modellare (to shape), and takes avere as its auxiliary. It is used both literally — for reshaping clay, a nose, or a body — and figuratively, as in 'to reshape an organisation'. The reflexive rimodellarsi means 'to reshape oneself', common in wellness contexts.
