⚠️ The trap
Pavimento means the floor inside a building. 'Pavement' in English is the road or sidewalk surface. A sidewalk is 'marciapiede' in Italian — completely different!
To say "the paved surface of a road or sidewalk" in Italian:
marciapiede (sidewalk) / asfalto (road surface)
"pavimento" in English means:
floor (inside a building)
Example
"Il pavimento è scivoloso."
"The floor is slippery."
