Explanation:
Either you don't translate any of the four "styles" or you translate the lot. If the product is to be sold to an English-speaking market, personally I would opt for translation:

'600 italiano: XVII Century (i.e. Baroque?)
nuovo rinascimento: Renaissance rivisited
ognitempo: Timeless
i rustici: Countryside or simply "Country"
