Cordonata
The cordonata (
Italian word, from cordone, which in architecture means "linear element which emphasizes a limit") is a sloping road interrupted at regular distances by low (8-10 cm) steps in the form of transversal stripes (cordoni) made of stone or bricks
. It has a form almost similar to a flight of steps, but allows the transit of horses and donkeys.
Famous Italian cordonate are in
Piazza del Quirinale, giving the name to a road (Via della Cordonata).[citation needed
