Many (all that I looked) English-Italian dictionaries give a transaltion for "a hat" as "capello". However, looking for this word the other way around never shows "hat" as one of the translations of the word "capello". Two Italian dictionaries I have looked in also don't mention any kind of head covering as a meaning of "capello" (one, two).

Does "capello" ever mean any kind of head covering at all? If yes, if this a special kind of hat?

    Would you please mention at least a single En-It dictionary that gives capello as a translation for hat? Are you sure they don't say cappello? – DaG Mar 7 '18 at 9:28

    Mistaking “consonanti doppie” is frequent in foreigners; on Math.SE we can see quite often “Riccati” (a mathematician active in the 18th century) misspelled as “Ricatti” (blackmail). – egreg♦ Mar 7 '18 at 12:46
  • Technically speaking capello does mean a head covering, of some sort ;). – Denis Nardin♦ Mar 7 '18 at 18:07

You are looking for cappello meaning hat.

Capello, note one single "p", means hair.
