pietrisco

[Emily Reigh]

Hello! Can someone give a translation for pietrisco? I think that it is something like small rocks or stones:

I know that gravel is translated as ghiaia and pebbles is translated as sassolini, so what is this word?

Thanks!

This is pietrisco. Hope it will be a start for your translation.

Hi Emily Reigh!

My suggestion is as follows:

"pietrìsco (sing), pietrìschi (plural)" = "rubble, gravel (for building and general uses), (for roads, highways, railroads) metal, road-metal".

If you're trekking among hilly terrain you can come acoss a slope consisting of pietrisco. In which case "scree" (and "scree slope", eventualmente) are right on the button, for my money.

In other words, this stuff can also occur in a "natural" context.
