Italian term or phrase: frontescena
parte di un antico teatro romano, a Nora in Sardegna (magari qualcuno lo conosce).

Scaenae frons
Explanation:
Scaenae frons
The back wall of the stage in a Roman theater, usually two or three storeys tall and elaborately decorated with columns and statues.
http://formaurbis.stanford.edu/docs/FURglossary.html

Front of the façade of the stage house or scaenae; pierced by three to five doors; unadorned in earlier theatres, but became increasingly ornate by the 2nd century with the addition of columns, niches, and statues decorating up to three stories of architecture.

Aggiungo una definizione di frontescena:

Il frontescena (scaenae frons) è una struttura architettonica a due o più piani coperta da una tettoia e alta più o meno quanto la cavea. Esso non è più distaccato dalla cavea ma costituisce con essa un unico organismo architettonico.
