Quadri

Quadri is a term of Italian origin with two primary uses in English-language contexts. First, quadri is the plural form of quadro, an Italian noun meaning painting, picture, or framed work of art. In Italian, a gallery or collection is often described as containing dieci quadri (ten paintings). The plural can also appear in historical or cataloging language when referring to multiple panels or related works within a polyptych or set. In everyday Italian, quadro commonly refers to a single painting, while cornice is typically used for a frame, and quadro may appear in titles or descriptions.

Second, quadri is an Italian surname. As a family name, it is found among people of Italian descent and can appear in records and contemporary usage in Italy and diaspora communities. The surname does not convey a specific occupation or region by itself in modern contexts.

In summary, quadri primarily signals a collection of paintings or a set of framed works in Italian usage, and it also appears as a surname among Italian populations.
