Usage Note

Fascicolo refers to an individual file or dossier in administrative and legal contexts (fascicolo personale — personal file), as well as to an issue or installment of a serial publication. It shares its Latin root fascis (bundle) with fascio and ultimately fascismo, though the connection is purely etymological. The plural is regular: i fascicoli.
