Italian term

ingombro

Italian to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Fishing rods
What part of a fishing rod is the ingombro? I've looked everywhere--google images, wikipedia, fishing websites, etc. I can't find something that specifies what it is, either in Italian or English!

Audra are you in Italy now? when I first met you you lived in the US, right?
Barbara Carrara Jun 19, 2016:
Tex A-ha! L'assenza di indicazioni metriche oltre alla mia ignoranza in materia aveva contribuito alla nebulosità dell'insieme. Resta il fatto che "ingombro" è, secondo me, una scelta terminologica sbagliata.
Ciau, bellezza!

@ Barbara 3,61 è la lunghezza in metri da aperta
60 cm è la lunghezza da chiusa
Ciao, buona domenica!
Barbara Carrara Jun 19, 2016:
Something is not quite right there Lunghezza: 3,61 (wrong, as this looks more like a diametre!)
Sezioni: 7
Ingombro: 60cm (wrong, as this should include two measurements in your case, i.e. length+diametre, the measurements needed to calculate the object volume)
Shabelula Jun 19, 2016:
ma.... non sarà il volume stesso della canna, per esempio la lunghezza?

so che per il mare è ammessa una lunghezza piu' grande e per l'acqua dolce delle dimensioni piu' ridotte
Audra deFalco (X) (asker) Jun 19, 2016:
There is no context beyond this: Molto simile all' italianissima tecnica Valesiana, la TENKARA sta subendo una forte espansione in tutta Europa, grazie a numerosi pescatori a Mosca che si innamorano delle sensazioni uniche che una tecnica di pesca semplice e rispettosa del pescato e dell' ambiente può offrire.
Azione: progressiva
Lunghezza: 3,61
Sezioni: 7
Ingombro: 60cm

You're right. I should change the subject.
Barbara Carrara Jun 19, 2016:
Audra Can you please post the sentence where the term appears?
Generally speaking, the 'ingombro' is simply the area an object occupies, its volume within a space. Have a look in the glossary to see if any of the existing translations fits your context.
One more thing. Unless specifically related to fisheries, I would suggest you to change the subject to 'Sports'.

lenght when closed/closed lenght

Ovvero l'esatto opposto della risposta precedente, a quanto sembra :)

Questa è certamente una canna da pesca telescopica, dato che l'ingombro è minore della lunghezza totale

Here is a old vintage steel fishing rod. Marked "Richardson" on the reel seat. Metal fly rods are hard to find.

There are 3 sections total and 2 of the sections extend out and self-store in each other. Length when closed is about 41 inches. The overall extended length is about 99 inches (about 8 1/4 feet).

Telescopic rods[edit]

Telescopic fishing rods are designed to collapse down to a short length and open to a long rod. 20 or even 30 ft rods can close to as little as a foot and a half. This makes the rods very easy to transport to remote areas or travel on buses, compact cars, or public buses and subways. Telescopic fishing rods are made from the same materials as conventional multi-piece rods.

Faccio notare che senza contesto, ovvero come avevi postato originariamente la domanda, sarebbe stato quasi impossibile risponderti...

REFUSO: ovviamente length, come mi fa giustamente notare Barbara. Sorry!
Peer comment(s):

agree Barbara Carrara : Chapeau per la ricerca! Se è confermata la canna telescopica, anche 'when collapsed' come da ultimo rif. (Refuso: length.)

Mannaggia per il refuso! Purtroppo è un errore che capita. Tutta colpa del fatto che G, H, T ed N sono tutte vicine sulla tastiera e mi si incrociano le dita. Un abbraccio!
agree martini : anche folded length

size

The ingombro is the room that something takes up, which is quite simply its size or its dimension. Often this is specified, such as when folded or when in its carrying bag, but without specification it is just its unspecified size.

Having found the context 60 cm this is obviously the "Folded size" or length if you like.

maximum length/size, minimum length/size; overall dimensions

If the object is a fishing rod, ingombro would refer to length, considering the diameter measure of the rod is rather irrelevant. Ingombro massimo would refer to maximum length, ingombro minimo would refer to minimum length. A correct term to say minimum length may be collapsed length, but the word is incorrectly used by various manufacturers to say exactly the opposite, thus should be avoided if not necessary. In any case the correct term to describe the fishing rod's max/min length is LUNGHEZZA, not ingombro, but the latter is in any case very common to refer to size in general.
If referring to an object in general (particularly a static and large-sized object such as a piece of furniture or an automatic machine), the word ingombro refers to the object's overall dimensions, thus length and width (plus height, in some cases). Ingombro massimo refers to the maximum space/volume occupied by an object in all directions; ingombro minimo refers to the minimum space/volume occupied by the object, this usually means the space occupied not considering open doors, windows, safety guards, or in some cases handles or other relatively small protruding components.
The term with the same etymology as ingombro also exists: encumbrance, but in English the term is more often used metaphorically to describe a burden, an impediment.
Example sentence:

L'ingombro massimo della macchina è di 4000x4000x2000 millimetri.

Le dimensioni ridotte ed il design sagomato permettono di rispettare ogni esigenza di ingombro da parte dei nostri clienti.
