Italian term or phrase: il bugnato
reinterpreta in chiave moderna il concetto rinascimentale di bugnato per questa prestigiosa finitura esterna in cemento a vista.

The only definition I can find is "rough masonry" Any improvements on this?!

rustic, rustication
Explanation:
Dear Peter,
I do a lot of work that talks of bugnatura - gothic portals and what not.
It's "rustic" or rustication - so it would be "the modern interpretaion of the Renaissance concept of rustication".
Bye

rustic non to rustic?


Explanation:
Tizi is right to say ashlar was in the dictionary but ashlar (see Collins Dictionaty) is the stone used for building (so it's squared off) = concia di pietra squadrata. When it is "bugnato" = it has been rusticated (see Collins again) i.e made rustic in appearance.
So a stone may be an ashlar without necessarily being "bugnato" or rusticated.
If my memory serves me correctly I have actually translated "bugnato" as the adjective for wooden doors .. but I may be wrong.
Ciao
Angela

piove sempre sul bugnato


Explanation:
I sort feel morally reponsible for have unleashed this battle of the bugnato - my PICCHI dictionary says -
CONCIO or PIETRA CONCIA = ASHLAR, QUOIN
BUGNATO = ASHLAR(ING) OR ASHLAR MASONRY
BUGNATO RUSTICO = RUSTIC ASHLAR
The Grande Sansoni, a far more complete work says -
BUGNA = PROJECTION, RUSTICATED ASHLAR, RUSTICATED,
BUGNATO = RUSTICATION, RUSTIC WORKD
BUGNATURA = RUSTICATION

As I mention above, for BUGNATO RUSTICO it gives RUSTICATED ASHLAR.

I far more confused that I was before and I have now developed a deep liking for reinforced concrete, plate glass and stainless steel.
Now was it concrete or is it better to say cement ...
