Italian term or phrase: curvano
Il cupolotto trasparente asimmetrico conferisce personalità a questo esemplare; il tergicristallo è nascosto nella base del piccolo curvano.
(è affondato in un recesso per non creare turbolenza aerodinamiche)
Il nome specifico di questo "recesso"???
Mio cliente mi dice che c'è un termine specifico tecnico per curvano...ma non lo trovo nei miei vocabolari.

windscreen valence panel
Explanation:
The curvano is usually the windscreen valence panel - the panel at the base of the windscreen. In many cars it's now in plastic and often the bonnet extends to cover it creating the recess in which the wipers are semi-concealed.
