⚠️ The trap
Mostly not a false friend of 'convene'. The main everyday meaning of 'convenire' is 'to be worth it' or 'to be convenient'. 'Conviene farlo?' = 'Is it worth doing it?' To convene a meeting use 'convocare'.
To say "to formally call or bring together a group" in Italian:
convocare (for to convene a meeting)
"convenire" in English means:
to be convenient, to agree, to be worth it, to assemble
