People & Society Law

Origin: From Latin revindicare, 'to reclaim'.

Also means

demand, vindication

Usage Note

Rivendicazione typically refers to a formal claim or demand — workers making wage demands (rivendicazioni sindacali), a group asserting historical rights, or a terrorist group claiming responsibility for an attack (rivendicazione di un attentato). It carries a stronger, more assertive tone than the neutral richiesta ('request').

Examples

"Le rivendicazioni dei lavoratori sono state accolte."

Natural Translation

The workers' claims were accepted.
