Also means
implication
Usage Note
Risvolto primarily refers to the lapel of a jacket or the turned-up cuff of trousers. Figuratively it means an implication or side effect — i risvolti di una decisione are the knock-on effects of a decision. The two senses can occasionally cause ambiguity, so context is essential.
Examples
"Ha un garofano rosso sul risvolto della giacca."
