Venetian door/window, Serliana
- a tripartite arrangement where the central opening is arched
and taller
than the two flanking openings which are flat topped.
Sometimes referred to as a Serliana after
Sebastian Serlio, (1475-1552) who published seven books on architecture and is credited with first
illustrating this arrangement.
