Looks like

convocation

a large formal assembly, especially a graduation ceremony at a university

⚠️ The trap

In Italian 'convocazione' is a formal summons or a sporting call-up (to a national team), not a graduation ceremony. English 'convocation' most commonly refers to a graduation or formal academic assembly.

To say "a large formal assembly, especially a graduation ceremony at a university" in Italian:

convocazione (official summons); cerimonia di laurea (graduation convocation)

"convocazione" in English means:

a summons, an official call to appear; a team selection call-up

Example

"Ha ricevuto la convocazione in nazionale per la partita."

"He received the call-up to the national team for the match."
