landscape (a view or painting of countryside)
Looks like
passage
a corridor; a section of text; the act of passing
⚠️ The trap
'Paesaggio' means landscape (the visual scene or genre of landscape painting). 'Passage' in Italian is 'passaggio' (a corridor, a musical passage, or the act of passing). Very different words despite the visual similarity.
To say "a corridor; a section of text; the act of passing" in Italian:
paesaggio (correct for landscape)
"paesaggio" in English means:
landscape (a view or painting of countryside)
Example
"Il paesaggio toscano ispirò molti pittori del Rinascimento."
"The Tuscan landscape inspired many Renaissance painters."
