⚠️ The trap
Good match. But 'a distanza' = remotely/at a distance. 'Lavoro a distanza' = remote work/working from home — not 'distance work' as a direct calque. Learners should know this idiomatic use.
To say "the length of space between two points" in Italian:
distanza
"distanza" in English means:
distance, gap
Example
"Mantieni la distanza di sicurezza."
"Keep a safe distance."
