Notas de uso
- For a wall-hung artwork, quadro is common; dipinto sounds more specifically like a painted work, not a photo or print.
- To mean “overall situation,” Italians often say il quadro generale or il quadro della situazione, not just quadro alone.
- As “square,” quadro is uncommon in everyday speech; use quadrato for the shape and piazza/quadrato only in specific contexts.
