Usage Note

Prospetto has three common meanings: a summary table or statement (prospetto delle spese = expense table), the façade of a building (il prospetto del palazzo = the building's front elevation), and in finance a prospectus (prospetto informativo). Context always disambiguates. The stress falls on the second syllable; the double 't' is held.
