⚠️ The trap

Campo can mean field or camp in Italian. The English adjective 'camp' (over-the-top, theatrical) has no Italian equivalent using 'campo'. Also in Venice, 'campo' is the word for a public square (piazza is reserved for St Mark's).

To say "a temporary accommodation site; also flamboyantly theatrical (adjective)" in Italian:

campo (field/camp); accampamento (military/tent camp)

"campo" in English means:

field (agricultural or sports); camp; also a square in Venice

Example

"I bambini giocano a calcio nel campo dietro la scuola."

"The children play football in the field behind the school."
