Italian word
questore
the chief of the provincial police (the head of the questura)
Looks like
questioner
a person who asks questions
⚠️ The trap
A 'questore' is a senior police official, not someone who asks questions. In parliament, a 'questore' is also a parliamentary administrative officer. None of these meanings relate to asking questions.
To say "a person who asks questions" in Italian:
questore
"questore" in English means:
the chief of the provincial police (the head of the questura)
Example
"Il questore ha dichiarato lo stato di emergenza pubblica."
"The police chief declared a state of public emergency."
