Usage notes
- Use incarico for a formal role or assignment; compito is a task, mansione a routine duty, and lavoro a job in general.
- Common with verbs like affidare, conferire, ricevere, svolgere, revocare. Less natural with fare alone unless followed by details.
- Often followed by di + infinitive or presso + organization: un incarico di coordinare, un incarico presso il ministero.
