incassate nel soffitto Explanation: Da OED (Oxford English Dictionary) ho trovato quanto segue: louvre (...etc...etc...) 7 louver. The form louvre is now usual in the U.K. and louver in the U.S. (...) The ultimate etymology is obscure; (...) The form louvre arises from confusion with French Louvre (see next).] 1. A domed turret-like erection on the roof of the hall or other apartment in a mediæval building with lateral openings for the passage of smoke or the admission of light. (Cf. lantern 4.) Verificando in lantern 4. ho trovato quanto segue 4. Arch. An erection, either square, circular, elliptical, or polygonal, on the top either of a dome or of an apartment, having the sides pierced, and the apertures glazed, to admit light; a similar structure serving as a means of ventilation, or for any other purpose. In conclusione questo termine sembra essere un termine architettonico (insolito) per denomiare delle cupolette o nicchie nel soffitto che possono alloggiare dei punti luce. Per tradurlo userei una 'incassate nel soffitto' o 'poste in nicchie ricavate nel soffitto' Molto difficile. Consiglio di verificare questo mio suggerimento. Io ho fatto il possibile per aiutare. gianfranco |
