⚠️ The trap
Largely equivalent. The Italian 'ostruzionismo parlamentare' is similar to a filibuster. However, Italy's parliamentary rules are different — there is no formal Italian equivalent of the U.S. Senate's unlimited debate filibuster rule. The Italian version involves endless amendments and procedural motions.
To say "the practice of deliberately obstructing progress" in Italian:
ostruzionismo

Example
