Notas de uso
- Use disgrazia for serious personal tragedy or public calamity; for everyday bad luck, sfortuna or che sfortuna! is more natural.
- In religious or old-fashioned contexts, per disgrazia can mean unfortunately; today it's less common than purtroppo.
- Disgrazia can also mean social disgrace, but vergogna or disonore are often clearer in modern usage.
