A space is Hausdorff iff…
$begingroup$
Here's an exercise from Marco Manetti's "Topologia" book (ex. 3.59 in the italian version) that i'm stuck on:
Prove that a topological space $X$ is $mathrm{T2}iff{x}=bigcaplimits_{Uin,mathcal{I}(x)}kern{-7pt}overline{U};;;forall xin X$
Partial proof:
$(Rightarrow)$ Let $xin X$, suppose that $yin X$ and $xneq y$. They have disjoint neighborhoods because $X$ is $mathrm{T2}$. So $exists A,Bsubset X$ open and disjoint, such that $xin A$ and $yin B$, and as they're disjoint $Asubset B^{kern{1pt}mathrm{c}}$ and $B^{kern{1pt}mathrm{c}}$ is a closed neighborhood of $x$, choosing such a $B_y$ for each $yneq x$ yields a family of closed neighborhoods of $x$, and $bigcaplimits_{yneq x}kern{-3pt}overline{B^{kern{1pt}mathrm{c}}_y}=bigcaplimits_{yneq x}kern{-3pt}B^{kern{1pt}mathrm{c}}_y={x}$.
$(Leftarrow)$ My initial idea was to prove that if in a space $X$ with the property on the right we assume that given a pair of points $x,yin X$ they have no $Ainmathcal{I}(x),Binmathcal{I}(y)$ open and disjoint we have a contradiction, but all my ideas seemed ineffective, how should i proceed?

Suppose that $X$ is $T_2$. If $x,yin X$, there are $Uinmathcal{I}(x)$ and $Vinmathcal{I}(Y)$ such that $Ucap V=emptyset$. Let $O$ be an open set such that $yin O$ and $Osubset V$. Then $O^complement$ is a closed set that containes $U$. Therefore, $overline Usubset O^complement$ and therefore $ynotinoverline U$. Sinse this occurs for every $yin X$, $bigcap_{Uinmathcal{I}(x)}overline{U}={x}$.
Now, suppose that $X$ is not $T_2$. Take $x,yin X$ such that, for any $Uinmathcal{I}(x)$ and any $Vinmathcal{I}(y)$, $Ucap Vneqemptyset$. It's not hard to prove that $yinbigcap_{Uinmathcal{I}(x)}overline{U}$.
