Italian term or phrase: quinte di pilastri
This is an article about the GalFa Tower in Milan. This particular paragraph describes very briefly its construction. I have no idea how to translate "quinte di pilastri". I know "quinte" in the theatrical sense, but I do not know how to apply it to this context. Below is the sentence. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

bearing and shear walls


Explanation:
I found this description similar to your Italian source where 6 walls/quinte are mentioned...maybe it will help but I'm not sure if it's the exact equivalent translation of the term...maybe an architect out there could tell you if they correspond!

The main structure of the building is made up of six reinforced concrete bearing and shear walls, differently oriented and set back from the outer edge which is coated by curtain walls: continuous facade in glass and duralumin, separate from the structure, giving special lightness and allowing to see the modern open spaces inside.
