1. 1

    Italianate means made to look Italian — the style of Italy, not “from Italy” in a simple way. You meet it most with buildings, gardens, and furniture: an Italianate villa, Italianate windows, an Italianate garden with stone and trees. In English-speaking countries in the 1800s it became a fashion to copy Italian looks, so the word is at home in art and architecture talk. It is a fairly educated, descriptive word, not street slang. An Italian restaurant is Italian. A house in London built to look like one in Italy is Italianate. That gap — real origin versus copied look — is the whole point of the word. There is a rare verb “to Italianate” (to make something look Italian), but almost all the use you will see is the adjective.

    義大利式的、義大利風的(台灣寫「義大利」;指仿義大利風格,不是「義大利來的」)
