Usage notes
- In modern Italian, maresciallo usually refers to a military rank or a police NCO, not the historical title marshall.
- Often used alone as a form of address: Buongiorno, maresciallo. Capitalize only in official titles or at sentence start.
- Do not confuse it with marshal in English event security contexts; Italian often uses addetto alla sicurezza or steward instead.
