domed vent

Explanation:
no-one incorporates extra elements just for looks in industrial structures, therefore ai decided to investigate a little bit more.
Here's two links to pdf, one in It one En.
Look at the dome for the Tonawanda coal facility page 7 ..the "cupolino" is actually a domed-top vent that sits at the top of the dome itself
