rimorchio
trailer
The Italian term for the English word 'trailer' is 'rimorchio'. It refers to a vehicle drawn by a powered vehicle, especially a van or caravan towed by a car. It can be used in most of the same contexts as in English. However, it does not usually refer to a preview for a movie or television show as it commonly does in English.
