+ ==Forms==

+ '''notizia''' ''f'' (plural notizie)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is a learned word, [[bor|la|nōtitia|t=fame; knowledge, acquaintance]], derived from [[m|la|nōtus|t=known]], the past participle of [[m|la|nōscō|t=to get to know]].^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)^(GRADIT 2003)^(Zingarelli 2010)^(OLD 2012) The same Latin word gave [[fr|notice]] (1372), whence [[en|notice]], and [[es|noticia]].^(Nocentini 2010)^(DEI|2603) [[ro|notiție]] was borrowed from the Italian word.^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ DELI's first records are Dante, before 1321, with the sense “knowledge, acquaintance”, and the Statutes of the Disciplinati of Maddaloni, early in the 14th century, with “announcement of a fact”.^(DELI 1999) GRADIT dates the sense “report of a recent event” to 1313–1319.^(GRADIT 2003)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In older Italian the word kept the Latin sense “knowledge, familiarity”: Boccaccio speaks of what came ''alla notizia'' of the discerning, and Petrarch of those who were ''di mia notizia'', known to him.^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861)^(GRADIT 2003) This use survives in literary phrases such as ''per vostra notizia'', “for your information”.^(Zingarelli 2010)^(Treccani 2011)

+

+ The modern sense “piece of news” spread with newspapers, radio and television: ''le ultime notizie'', ''fare notizia''.^(Treccani 2011)^(Devoto–Oli 2026) ''Notiziario'', a news bulletin, is recorded from 1908.^(Nocentini 2010) In law, ''notizia di reato'' is information about a possible crime; historians use ''notizia'' for an early medieval document recording a legal act, a term spread by Heinrich Brunner from 1880.^(Zingarelli 2010)^(DEI|2603)
