Italian word

capitale

capital (money/city); also: adjective meaning main/chief

Looks like

capital

money for investment; uppercase letter; capital city; punishable by death

⚠️ The trap

Mostly equivalent, but 'capitale' as an adjective means 'chief/main' (errore capitale = grave error), not 'uppercase'. For uppercase letter say 'maiuscola'.

To say "money for investment; uppercase letter; capital city; punishable by death" in Italian:

capitale (noun); capitale (city)

"capitale" in English means:

capital (money/city); also: adjective meaning main/chief

Example

"L'azienda ha bisogno di nuovo capitale per espandersi."

"The company needs new capital to expand."
