Looks like

to show, to give, to introduce
⚠️ The trap
Broadly a true friend. But 'presentare domanda' = to submit/file an application — not 'to present an application' in the English sense. 'Il presentatore' = TV presenter/host (the person, not the PowerPoint program). 'Mi presento' = I introduce myself.
To say "to show, to give, to introduce" in Italian:
presentare (correct)
"presentare" in English means:
to present, to introduce, to submit (a document), to host (a show)
Example
"Permettimi di presentarti mia sorella."
"Allow me to introduce you to my sister."
