Geography
Italian term or phrase: fronte d'esposizione
Referring to a plot of land. I can't seem to find the right way of wording this:

"In particolare sul **fronte d’esposizione** principale che guarda a sud verso la zona agricola..."

"La zona edificabile presenta due **fronti d’esposizione** prevalenti"

"riproduzione schematica dei **fronti d’esposizione** prevalenti"

Thanks for any ideas.

front exposure


Explanation:
Fronte here means the "front" as in "la fronte dell'edificio", the front of the building, and esposizione here means the direction as facing north, south, etc., or simply exposure like in "casa con esposizione a ponente" meaning house with a western exposure.
