oro massiccio

Probably. But the entry solid does not cover uses like “solid gold” (German Massivgold); there are also web pages that explain people who search what “solid gold” or “Massivgold” is. Here we have a graph showing what this solid- or massive- part means in particular application to gold. So this is not so trivial to decide. Fay Freak (talk) 02:50, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

I think it is actually covered by sense 3: "Lacking holes, hollows or admixtures of other materials." In this case, it means "lacking hollows", only those hollows would have been filled with some other substance (brass in the text you linked). We should probably split this into two senses: lacking hollows, and lacking admixtures. But I agree that it's nontrivial to decode.__Gamren (talk) 11:16, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

• Y'all seem unsure if it's straightforward or not. Keep - Dentonius (my politics | talk) 13:26, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
• Yeah, I'm going to say keep, because it could reasonably be expected to mean "pure i.e. unalloyed gold".__Gamren (talk) 16:07, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
