Italian term or phrase: grange
Una regione ricca di boschi, di grange, e di pascoli.
Traci Andrighetti
English translation:country houses/estates
Explanation:
I think this is already an English term inserted into the Italian text (in theory it should be "granges" (plural), which is a common mistake in Italian use of English nouns. But grange would sound a bit strange in this context in English - how about country houses or estates - the term refers to a large manor house, usually owned by landed gentry with a private park around it. Hope this helps. SUE
