quadrillonnage noir à l'italienne
Black criss-cross /grid/square pattern.....


Explanation:
I think it may be "quadrillage" which is a square or criss-cross pattern/format. À l'italienne can be a format where the length or width is greater than the height.
I think that "theâtre à l'italienne" is a theatre in the form of a semi-circle where the spectators are placed at different levels i.e. circle, balcony etc but not sure if this is relevant either.

Just an idea. It may make sense if you have more context.

Explanation:
ce n'est pas quadrillonage, c'est quadrillage, et je crois que c'est une technique pour diviser la scene (l'espace) en plusieurs zones, pour les besoins du numero.
