⚠️ The trap
In Italian 'autore' means both a literary author AND the perpetrator of a crime ('l'autore del reato' = the perpetrator of the offence). In English 'author' is never used to mean a criminal. Use 'autore' with care — context is crucial.
To say "a person who writes a book, article, or document" in Italian:
N/A (partial overlap)
"autore" in English means:
author, creator, perpetrator
Example
"La polizia cerca l'autore del furto."
"The police are looking for the perpetrator of the theft."
