Usage notes
- Use riferimento for a point of reference or citation; referenza usually means recommendation or testimonial, not generic reference.
- Common pattern: fare riferimento a + noun/pronoun = to refer to. Don't omit a.
- As a job title, persona di riferimento means key contact person, not necessarily a manager.
