bilby commented on the word magazzino
Dolly? Sheep Collectors' Monthly? 10-Minute Recipes For The One-Eyed Chef? Home Handyfish? If you have lots of interesting magazines you can take them to Italy and keep them in a magazzino, a store room.
Actually not much of a false friend given that English has a reasonably comparable meaning of magazine as a store-house of weapons. But in real life I have witnessed several foreigners pick up magazzino for the first time and go straight for the obvious but incorrect meaning.
