Italian term or phrase: paesaggio \"a pigola\"
Contesto:

Nacquero così diverse soluzioni per ricavare ampi spazi coltivabili sui pendii dei rilievi: per esempio la sistemazione "a ciglioni", ossia campi in lieve pendenza sorretti da mezzelune di terra ed erba; oppure quella "a terrazze", utilizzata per i versanti montuosi molto scoscesi, che consiste nel ricavare dei campi piani scolpendo il pendio in terrazze sostenute da muri a secco. Altre tecniche erano quelle a "cavalcapoggio" e "girapoggio", in cui l'aratura e l'impianto delle colture seguivano l'andamento altitudinale del rilievo; oppure la tecnica che ha dato luogo al paesaggio "a pigola", formato da colture arboree e arbustive, divise in appezzamenti circondati da siepi, irregolarmente disposti a coprire il rilievo.

Molte Grazie,

Notes to answerer
Asker: What are the ideas that philgoddard elicited about "MFA", Marco? And you're right about being "in a hurry". I do such a large amount of translation on an ongoing basis that that's the way it is.
