Usage notes
- "PM" usually means presidente del Consiglio in Italian news, not "prime minister" as an official title.
- In legal contexts, "PM" often means pubblico ministero. Use context carefully: politics and law use the same abbreviation.
- It is mostly written, especially in headlines and newspapers. In speech, Italians often say the full expression instead.
