⚠️ The trap

Baule is a large trunk or the car boot (trunk in American English). It has nothing to do with 'bawl' (crying). In Italy, the back of a car is 'bagagliaio' or 'baule' colloquially.

To say "to cry loudly" in Italian:

piangere a dirotto

"baule" in English means:

trunk, large chest, car boot (trunk)

Example

"Ho messo le valigie nel baule."

"I put the suitcases in the trunk (boot)."
