Usage Note

Comunemente is used to state what is widely known or accepted (è comunemente noto che… = it is commonly known that…). It is more formal than di solito (usually) and implies broad social consensus rather than personal habit. Learners should not confuse it with comodamente (comfortably), which has a similar rhythm.
