Italian word

arte

art; skill, craft

Looks like

art

creative works; fine arts

⚠️ The trap

These overlap closely, but in Italian 'arte' more readily means a skilled craft or trade (the art of cooking, the art of persuasion) in everyday usage. English 'art' can feel more exclusively tied to visual/fine arts. Note also 'arti e mestieri' = arts and crafts.

To say "creative works; fine arts" in Italian:

N/A (mostly the same)

"arte" in English means:

art; skill, craft

Example

"L'arte culinaria italiana è famosa in tutto il mondo."

"Italian culinary art is famous throughout the world."
