Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Italian term or phrase:
camaleontismo
English translation:
many-sidedness; many-sided personality
Italian term
camaleontismo
According to wikipedia this term describes how one is able to change his or her opinion as others wish (being chameleon-like), although here in the text seems more like the author is suggesting that the artistic is eclectic, versatile.
I already checked another kudoz entry, it didn't seem to be helpful in that the context was different.
Thanks for your suggestions

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.
