Hi Richard,
"Fughe" are the spaces between tiles, and "fugati" means that the tiles are spaced, as opposed to side by side, and hte spaces are then filled with different types of fillers.
Hope to have been of help- Jennifer

Comment: "Many thanks, Jennifer. I understood what was being referred to, but had never come across the term in English (although I've laid a lot of tile here in Italy). Thanks again,
Richard"

(wider) grout joints
The fuga is indeed the space between the tiles or "joint". I found this glossary that may help.
It talks about standard "grout joints":
Nominal dimension
The stated size of a tile, which usually includes a standard grout joint. The actual dimension is somewhat smaller.
Also "wider grout joints":
More lippage can be tolerated when wider grout joints are used or the tile doesn't have a square edge, but lippage should not exceed 1 mm per 3 mm joint width.
