Usage Note
Rispecchiare means to mirror or faithfully reflect something (i dati rispecchiano la realtà — the data reflect reality). It is more figurative than riflettere (which also means to reflect light or to think over). The reflexive rispecchiarsi means to see oneself reflected: mi rispecchio in lui (I see myself in him). The noun specchio (mirror) is the root.
Examples
"Il romanzo rispecchia la società del tempo."
Natural Translation
The novel reflects the society of the time.
