Italianate architecture

 

Italianate architecture is a 19th-century architectural style that draws inspiration from the buildings of Italy, particularly the Italian Renaissance. It is known for features like stucco exteriors, low-pitched roofs with wide eaves, tall and narrow windows, and a strong emphasis on symmetry. This style often includes ornate balconies, porches, and elaborate cornices, creating a sense of elegance and charm reminiscent of historic Italian architecture.
