troupe

Usage Note

Troupe is a French loanword used in Italian for a film or theatre company. It is invariable — the plural is also le troupe — and always feminine. In film contexts it specifically means the production crew on set. The pronunciation is close to the French original, making it one of the less phonetically predictable Italian words.

Examples

"La troupe ha girato in Sicilia per tre settimane."

Natural Translation

The crew filmed in Sicily for three weeks.
