atrezzo (as used in Catalan)

English translation: set dressing (and props)

Catalan term or phrase: atrezzo (as used in Catalan)
No context. It's a list of things a filming company is permitted to do in a public park, and atrezzo is just the heading. In this place - the atrezzo - the film co can decorate with dried leaves, instal a fountain, etc.

It's not in the online ITalian dictionary. It seems only to be used in ES/CAT filming contexts.

English translation:set dressing (and props)
Explanation:
I would use the term set dressing rather than props or even Set dressing and props depending on what is listed. A painting on the wall for example is part of the dressing not a prop to my understanding.

Set dressing: Props that are used to decorate the set and are usually not handled by actors

Props: All objects, except for scenery, used by an actor during a play
