Dear Sabrina,


Explanation:
As Derek says paratia is normally translated as bulkhead but if you supply more context you may get more suitable answers.
A bulkhead is a kind of separating element and can be movable, but perhaps you are dealing with a phrase regarding
"paratia tagliafuoco" or similar and perhaps you have thought it to be a firedoor?

paratia tagliafuoco is translated as fire bulkhead; fire-proof bulkhead;
fire-resisting bulkhead
