Italian word

sceneggiatura

screenplay; film script

Looks like

scenery

the natural scenery or stage scenery in a show

⚠️ The trap

'Sceneggiatura' means 'screenplay/script', not 'scenery'. The word for theatrical scenery or stage design is 'scenografia'. Scenic landscape is 'paesaggio'. The root 'scena' is visible, but the meaning is about the written text, not the visual setting.

To say "the natural scenery or stage scenery in a show" in Italian:

scenografia (for scenery/set design); sceneggiatura (for screenplay)

"sceneggiatura" in English means:

screenplay; film script

Example

"La sceneggiatura è stata scritta in soli due mesi."

"The screenplay was written in just two months."
