dichiarazioni

Dichiarazioni is the plural of dichiarazione, a statement or assertion made by a person regarding facts, beliefs, or intentions. It can be informal or formal, but in many contexts it carries legal or administrative significance. In linguistics or philosophy of language, a dichiarazione is a speech act that asserts something about the world.

In legal and administrative systems, dichiarazioni are used to convey information to authorities, agencies, courts, or employers. They may be sworn or non-sworn, and some are required by law to be provided in specific procedures. The term covers a range of formats, from simple affirmations to formal statements presented in official processes.

Common types in Italy include dichiarazioni fiscali (tax declarations), dichiarazioni dei redditi, and dichiarazioni sostitutive di certificazioni (DS), which allow individuals to attest copies of documents or personal facts in lieu of official certificates. There are also dichiarazioni rese in tribunale or in administrative proceedings, sometimes under oath, and non-swearing attestations in everyday settings.

False or misleading dichiarazioni can entail legal penalties, civil liability, and loss of credibility. The exact rules depend on the jurisdiction and the nature of the declaration, with specific provisions governing perjury, falsità ideologica, and related offenses in many legal systems.

Dichiarazioni also appear in everyday language to describe statements made by people about their experiences, opinions, or plans, illustrating how the term covers both formal and ordinary uses.
