Usage Note
Dismissione in Italian refers to the planned closure or disposal of an asset, plant, or activity: dismissione di uno stabilimento ('plant closure'). In finance, dismissione di partecipazioni means disposal of shareholdings. It is a false friend for English speakers: it does not mean 'dismissal' of a person (for that, use licenziamento). The plural is dismissioni.
Examples
"La dismissione della fabbrica ha causato molti licenziamenti."
Natural Translation
The closure of the factory caused many redundancies.
