Italian word

molo

pier, dock, jetty

Looks like

mole

a small burrowing mammal; a spy; a unit of chemistry

⚠️ The trap

A 'molo' is where boats dock, not an animal or a chemistry unit. Completely unrelated to English 'mole'.

To say "a small burrowing mammal; a spy; a unit of chemistry" in Italian:

talpa (for the animal mole)

"molo" in English means:

pier, dock, jetty

Example

"Le barche sono ormeggiate al molo."

"The boats are moored at the pier."
