⚠️ The trap
Fornaio = baker (the person). Furnace in Italian is 'fornace'. Both come from the Latin root for 'oven' (forno), but they diverged significantly in meaning.
To say "an enclosed chamber for burning fuel or heating" in Italian:
forno (for oven/furnace); fornaio for the baker person
"fornaio" in English means:
baker, bread baker
Example
"Vado dal fornaio a comprare il pane."
"I'm going to the baker to buy bread."
