⚠️ The trap
The person is 'ambasciatore'; the place is 'ambasciata'. English speakers sometimes use 'ambassador' to refer to the building as well, but in Italian these must be kept separate.
To say "a diplomat representing their country" in Italian:
ambasciatore (for the person)
"ambasciata" in English means:
embassy; a message or errand (old usage)
