Looks like
tribunal
a special court or judicial body, often for specific matters
⚠️ The trap
In Italian, 'tribunale' is the standard ordinary court at first instance — a normal court, not a special body. In English, 'tribunal' often implies an extraordinary or administrative body (employment tribunal, war tribunal). The Italian equivalent of those is often 'commissione' or 'collegio arbitrale'.
To say "a special court or judicial body, often for specific matters" in Italian:
tribunale
"tribunale" in English means:
a court (specifically a first-instance civil or criminal court)
Example
"Il caso verrà discusso al tribunale di Milano."
"The case will be heard at the Milan court."
