menzione

mention

In Italian, the word 'menzione' is used in a similar way to the English word 'mention'. It is used to refer to a brief or casual reference to something or someone. For example, you might say 'Ho fatto menzione del tuo progetto durante la riunione' (I mentioned your project during the meeting). It can also be used in the context of academic or professional achievements, where a 'menzione speciale' (special mention) might be given to someone who has performed particularly well.
