A baldresca is an architectural element supporting a loggia.
[1] The element is of the medieval tradition and looks like a shelf with a supporting function.
A notable example of the use of baldrescas is in the Casa Romei [it] (a 15th-century building located in Ferrara, known precisely for a peculiar mixture of medieval and Renaissance elements), where they support the east loggia.
