Italian term or phrase: con partitura a mezza foglia
I fondali delle tre absidi, in dialogo con i livelli vitrei antistanti, disegnano all’orizzonte il profilo del monte Calvario, sovrastato da un cielo interamente d’oro: la doratura è stata effettuata mediante preparazione a mordente con oro zecchino libero 24 kt. di grammatura media con partitura a mezza foglia.

Thanks!

English translation:divided into half-sheets
Explanation:
I think this is just describing the application of gold leaf that has been divided into smaller pieces - - so it is not the usual square leaf format (3-4 inches square) but half of that.
