Usage notes
- Use avviso for posted or written notices; notizia is news, and annuncio is broader for public announcements or ads.
- In public signs, avviso often appears in fixed phrases like avviso ai clienti or avviso importante; this sounds more formal than everyday speech.
- For personal opinions, a mio avviso is common and fairly formal; in conversation, secondo me is usually more natural.
