ciclo
I have this term that keeps cropping up: ciclo. Sometimes it's used for one decoration/painting, other times it's used for a few decorations (done at the same time?). Could you help me out? Here is the context:
"Alla sinistra dello stemma è l’unica scena figurativa del ciclo: la fondazione dell’Ordine del collare (poi dell’Annunziata) da parte di Amedeo VI, il Conte Verde."
"Passando ora all’esame del ciclo, esso si presenta organizzato in due momenti.
Il primo - quello iniziale - si trova in uno spazio alla destra dell’entrata sulla scala, cui si può solo affacciare, ma non entrare.
Per prima cosa, il visitatore vede lo stemma di Vittorio Emanuele III.
Che si tratti di questo, però è comprensibile solo a chi conosca bene il linguaggio araldico.
L’arma, infatti, appare eccezionalmente complessa."

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
