⚠️ La trampa

In Italian 'novella' is a short prose tale (like those in the Decameron). In English a 'novella' is a longer form — between short story and novel. Italian 'romanzo' = English 'novel'.

Para decir "a short novel (longer than a short story, shorter than a novel)" en italiano:

racconto lungo / romanzo breve (for a novella in the English sense)

"novella" en español significa:

short story (a piece of short fiction); also news (archaic)

Ejemplo

"Boccaccio scrisse cento novelle nel Decameron."

"Boccaccio wrote one hundred short stories in the Decameron."
