Italian to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Surveying
Italian term or phrase: abbadini I think they mean shingles of some sort, but here is the context: Le tecniche di realizzazione sono quelle tradizionali, con orditura principale e secondaria in legno e manto in abbadini di ardesia a triplo strato, inchiodati al tavolato e sigillati con malta di calce.

abbadini (thin slatings / thin slate layers / thin slate tiles) Explanation: Hi Elora, I'd keep the italian name untranslated since it is typical from Ligury and the translation in inverted comas. ABBADINO abbadino s.m. [dal genov. abaén, propr. "abatino", per metafora allusiva alla somiglianza di colore con la veste talare]. - Lastra sottile di ardesia usata, specialmente in Liguria, per la copertura dei tetti.	Maria Luisa Dell'Orto United Kingdom Native speaker of: Italian PRO pts in category: 4
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  architran: non è solamente la parola che viene di Liguria ma anche la tecnica di posa 6 hrs   -> Grazie Architran, anche per la precisazione!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  architran: temo che abbadini non sia affatto inteso se non precisi che si tratta di copertura in ardesie realizzate alla genovese (perché la realizzazzione è molto particolare) 6 hrs   -> Grazie Architran anche per la spiegazione. la traduzione sarebbe stat troppo lunga allora ho almeno preferito aggiungere il termine ardesia. Grazie sei stato molto preciso!
