Italian term or phrase: aspetto (in this context)
I'm having trouble with this passage because I'm not understanding what the author means by "aspetto" here. Can anyone help?


Nel contesto italiano la media età del Bronzo può essere suddivisa, a grandi linee, in due fasi principali: una iniziale che si sviluppa nei secoli XVII-XVI a.C. e una più tarda riferibile al XV e alla prima metà del XIV secolo a.C. A quest’ultimo stadio corrisponde l’instaurarsi di una notevole unità culturale con la diffusione, in tutta l’Italia peninsulare, di un ***aspetto*** al quale è stato dato il nome di “Appenninico” proprio per la sua dislocazione geografica lungo la dorsale omonima

characteristic
Explanation:
It is possible to speak of a 'cultural aspect', but perhaps here "phenomenon","feature" or "characteristic" is better.
