⚠️ The trap
'Ombrellone' is the big beach sun-shade (augmentative of 'ombrello'). 'Ombrello' is the smaller rain umbrella. Asking for 'un ombrello' at the beach will confuse the attendant — say 'ombrellone'.
To say "umbrella = rain protection device" in Italian:
ombrellone (beach) / ombrello (rain)
"ombrellone" in English means:
large beach umbrella / sun parasol
Example
"Abbiamo affittato un ombrellone e due lettini."
"We rented a beach umbrella and two sun loungers."
