⚠️ The trap
Portafoto literally means 'carries-photos' and is a picture frame. Portfolio (collection of work) is 'portafoglio' in Italian. Don't confuse these two 'porta-' compounds!
To say "a collection of work samples or investments" in Italian:
portafoglio
"portafoto" in English means:
picture frame, photo frame
