Veranda

Enclosed balcony, via Bosi, Livorno
“Veranda”, in Italian, is rarely a space at ground level: it is usually an enclosed and roofed balcony. This one in Via Bosi is a bit old fashioned: it is still made of wood and rests on a set of reinforced wrought iron supports.

  3. I have seen a lot of them but not in Italy! It's interesting. In Romania, "veranda" (the same word)could be a terrace too.

  5. I have seen this before. Plenty of them in Latin America. Plenty of Italians in Latin America as well. ;)

  6. Very attractive feature - though I dream of one day living in a house with an outdoor balcony.

  7. I wonder if it has some of these wonderful window seats. The wrought iron details are lovely.

  8. Interesting. This could let a lot of light into the house.
    Hope those supports are still good and strong. It happens sometimes in Israel that old verandas collapse under weight.

  9. That's a neat way to expand one's living space.

  13. A beautiful first floor veranda!

    Viennese courtyards often have these kind of verandas, on the upper floors.

  15. Very different use for the word in Sweden. This is a long balcony.
