Here\'s is the Encyclopædia Britannica definition (have to pay to see more :-) ) (Italian: “noble floor”), in architecture, main floor of a Renaissance building. In the typical palazzo, or palace, erected by an Italian prince of the Renaissance, the main reception rooms were in an upper story, usually the story immediately above the basement or ground floor.

peer agreement (net): +1ground and main floors Explanation: I would say ground floor for principal becuase it's logically what comes after basement, then the main floor for planta noble. If not, where are the other typical plantas such as baja and entresuelo? Why are they not mentioned, I mean, and I think it's because they simply do not exist in this building. In which case, ground and main floors would be OK. |

peer agreement (net): +1Noble floor Explanation: I think we need to move away from first/main/ground floor discussion. The planta noble could be any of those, what makes it "noble" is that that's the floor where the senyors acaudalats lived. Remember there were no elevators then and you wouldn't have el senyor i la senyora pujant escales while the service stays downstairs nice and cosy. It is a case of reverse Upstairs Downstairs. Cheers :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-19 23:13:18 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It would then come out as this: Planta principal: ground floor; planta noble: noble floor, but now I think it mayn\'t be first floor as there are no others (second,...) apart from the golfes. Now I\'m wondering too where the service lived (soterrani? then no reverse Ups & Downs and all is well...) :-) |
