Cordonata (Italian noun, from cordone, meaning "lineal architectonic element which emphasizes a limit") is a sloping road composed of transversal stripes ("cordoni"), which are made with stone or bricks. It has a form almost similar to a flight of steps, but allows the transit of horses and donkeys. Among the most famous italian cordonate are the one in Rome (rione Campitelli) leading to the Piazza del Campidoglio (the "cordonata capitolina", work of Michelangelo) and that, also in Rome (rione Trevi), which leads to the Piazza del Quirinale, and gives the name to a road (Via della Cordonata).
