The typical porch style of an Italianate Villa house is called a "loggia." A loggia is an open-air, covered porch or gallery that is usually located on the main level of the house. It is often supported by columns or arches and is designed to provide shade and create an inviting outdoor space. The loggia in Italianate Villa houses is typically characterized by ornate details such as decorative columns, intricate railings, and sometimes incorporates elements of classical Roman or Renaissance architecture.
