incarichi

Incarichi is the plural form of incarico in Italian and is used to refer to the assignments, duties, or posts entrusted to a person or organization. The term covers a range of responsibilities, from everyday tasks within a company to more formal positions in public administration. An incarico may be temporary or long-term and can involve responsibilities such as planning, oversight, representation, or decision-making on behalf of an employer, agency, or government body.

Etymology and meaning: The word comes from the noun carico (load, burden) with the prefix in-, signaling the act of entrusting someone with a duty. The concept emphasizes the transfer of responsibility rather than simply a job title. In everyday language, incarichi can describe both professional tasks and formal appointments.

Contexts and usage: In private and public sectors, incarichi are commonly discussed in terms of scope and duration—for example, professional incarichi within a corporation, or public incarichi such as government or municipal duties. In legal and administrative contexts, the term often distinguishes between ordinary tasks and official posts or mandates that confer authority or responsibility.

Related terms: Related concepts include incarico di responsabilità, nomina (appointment), mandato (term of office), and carica (office or post). The plural incarichi is frequently used in official communications and news reporting to describe multiple duties assigned to one or more individuals.
