Usage Note

Siglare means to sign a document formally, often with initials (la sigla) rather than a full signature, and is typical of diplomatic or legal language: siglare un accordo ('to initial/sign an agreement'). It is more formal than the general firmare ('to sign'). It takes avere as auxiliary.
