⚠️ The trap
In modern Italian 'credenza' almost always means a piece of kitchen furniture (a sideboard). In English 'credence' means believability or trust. They share a Latin root but diverge completely in everyday use.
To say "belief or trust given to something; also a small shelf near an altar" in Italian:
credenza (overlaps in religious/archaic sense but usually = sideboard)
"credenza" in English means:
a sideboard or dresser (piece of furniture); also belief/creed
Example
"I piatti sono nella credenza in cucina."
"The plates are in the kitchen sideboard."
