factory, manufacturing plant

Looks like

fabric

cloth, textile material

⚠️ The trap

Don't say 'Ho comprato una bella fabbrica' to mean 'I bought beautiful fabric'. Fabbrica is a factory! For cloth/textile say 'tessuto' or 'stoffa'.

To say "cloth, textile material" in Italian:

tessuto, stoffa (for fabric/cloth)

"fabbrica" in English means:

factory, manufacturing plant

Example

"Mio padre lavora in una fabbrica di automobili."

"My father works in a car factory."
