Italian term or phrase: accoltellato di pietra e mattoni
Dalla loggetta si scorge in basso il Cortile d’Onore la cui pavimentazione in accoltellato di pietra e mattoni comunica elementi decorativi e simbolici assieme.
From a description of Sassocorvaro castle.
I can't find a suitable translation for this. I've found 'edge block'' which doesn't seem right and some suggestions that it might be similar to cobbled but I'd like to hear from anyone better informed on the subject.
