⚠️ The trap

Mostly a true friend. However, 'panorama' in Italian is very often used figuratively: 'il panorama politico italiano' = the Italian political landscape/scene. In English this extended use sounds more formal or journalistic; in Italian it is completely natural.

To say "a wide unobstructed view of a landscape" in Italian:

panorama (correct)

"panorama" in English means:

panorama, view, landscape; an overview of a situation

Example

"Il panorama dalla terrazza è mozzafiato."

"The view from the terrace is breathtaking."
