Tourism & Travel / Michelin guide abstract
Italian term or phrase: aerei prospetti
Edificio simbolo del Rinascimento è Palazzo Farnese in cui le severe forme dell'esterno si contrappongono agli aerei prospetti verso cortile.

All I'm getting is "planes" for aerei, though I'm thinking the idea is either "airy" or "lofty" views. Is this right?

Thanks,

Peter

lightweight facades
Explanation:
Here, prospetti should be facades. For "aerei" lightweight is just a suggestion.
