Italian term

pensilina metallica disegna l’attacco al cielo

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Architecture Magazine article
Describing the roof of a building:

In copertura, a coronamento dell'edificio, una pensilina metallica disegna l’attacco al cielo, mettendo in regola l’altrimenti disordinato skyline degli impianti tecnologici.

Pensilina is a canopy, I think, but attacco al cielo?

a metal cover / roof outlines the beginning of the sky

this metal structure marks the beginning (of the view of) the sky, giving the idea that the sky starts from there

Reference:

attacco al cielo

although the context uses the word skyline in english, this previous question defined attacco al cielo as skyline. See link.
