Italian word
cornice
frame (of a painting or photo)
Looks like
cornice
a decorative horizontal moulding at the top of a wall or building
⚠️ The trap
In Italian 'cornice' means both a picture frame AND an architectural cornice. In English, 'cornice' refers only to the architectural moulding (the top edge of a wall or building). A picture frame in English is simply 'frame', not 'cornice'.
To say "a decorative horizontal moulding at the top of a wall or building" in Italian:
cornice (correct for picture frame AND architectural cornice)
"cornice" in English means:
frame (of a painting or photo)
Example
"La cornice del quadro è in legno dorato del Settecento."
"The painting's frame is in gilded 18th-century wood."
