Architecture
Italian term or phrase: arpe
Questo stesso fabbricato mostra interessanti particolari, come le arpe interamente in legno per legare i solai oppure i profili delle aperture in pietra lavorata a subbia con esiti decorativi semplici ma efficaci.

Can't seem to find a definition for 'arpe' that fits this context so any translation suggestions are most welcome.

centre/centering
Explanation:
Ho chiesto ad un architetto e potrebbe, con molta probabilità, trattarsi della CENTINA:
cèn|ti|nasfa TS edil arch struttura provvisoria spec di legno per sostenere durante la costruzione archi e volte.
http://www.demauroparavia.it/20891
Queste centine spesso rimangono a vista per rendere l'ambiente più particolare.
Per centina : CENTRE-CENTERING (CENTER amer.)su DIZ-TEC-EDIGEO e su SANSONI
Questa ritengo sia la traduzione più giusta.
Su IATE oltre ai termini suddetti c'è anche RIB e ARCH CENTRESpero esserti stata di aiuto

agree  Patrick Freeman: do you think 'harp-shaped' might be worth adding to distinguish from 'ordinary' straight-beamed centering? as these are interessanti particolari

  -> Your proposal is interesting even if arpa is translated with centre tout court.
