Italian term

cappello da carabiniere

Italian to English Other Architecture XVI century church in Sardinia
Hi - wondering if anyone can shine some light on this term. I can see from images that it does in fact look like the hat of a carabiniere (the humpback bridge style hat) but what I'm not sure is if there is a technical way for saying it in English. Grateful as always for any help from anyone.

La facciata in trachite rossa manifesta i canoni del Settecento e un pilastro della navata centrale rivela l'anno di conclusione del suo rifacimento: il 1789.
Questa si presenta con terminale a cappello da carabiniere e campanile a vela sul lato sinistro.

Hi Tom, thanks for your answer and link. This is the church in question - do you think the term curved pediment fits the bill here too ? https://www.sardegnaturismo.it/en/explore/sanctuary-san-cost...

curved pedimen

I assume you mean this church https://tinyurl.com/222zo96d- a similar pediment is found on this other church https://tinyurl.com/2yp3f6m2 but I've never come across a term in English that could correspond to "da carabiniere"

ends with curvilinear shape

come si dice nelle pagine EN del sito indicato

Qui, IMO, "cappello da carabiniere" si riferisce al cappello dell'uniforme anni '20, oggi alta uniforme, che ricorda il "bicorne/bicorn" di Napoleone

curvilinear
consisting of a curved line or lines

le immagini di "curved pediment" non mi sembrano corrispondere
