Usage Note

Preannunciare means to give advance notice or a preview of something — stronger than annunciare (to announce) because the pre- prefix marks it as prior warning. It is common in news and official communication: il governo ha preannunciato una riforma (the government has signalled a reform). The related noun is preannuncio (advance notice).

Examples

"Il sindaco ha preannunciato nuovi investimenti."
