Scale del miserere (staircase/stairs of mercy)
As it is how she has christened the staircase, I would leave the Italian and give an approximate translation in brackets or ask the designer to explain.

from the Miserere
It seems to be a reference to this though without further context it is difficult to incorporate it into the sentence properly.
Miserere (full title: Miserere mei, Deus, Latin for "Have mercy on me, O God") is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins, as part of the exclusive Tenebrae service on Holy Wednesday and Good Friday of Holy Week.

This seems relevant too. Can you give us a little more context?
Psalm 51 (Septuagint numbering: Psalm 50), traditionally referred to as the Miserere, its Latin incipit, is one of the Penitential Psalms. It begins: Have mercy on me, O God. The psalm's opening words in Latin, Miserere mei, Deus, have led to its being called the Miserere mei or just Miserere. It is often known by this name in musical settings. The psalm is frequently used in various liturgical traditions because of its spirit of humility and repentance.

I found your contest.
These kind of staircases are linked with rationalism.
Sono asciutte, senza fronzoli, ridotte all'essenziale, squadrate da ricollegare alla architettura razionalista
