Italian term
casa a ponte
Italian to English

Architecture
Medieval Italian architecture
Struggling to find this term, suspect it's blindingly obvious, but have still drawn a blank.
"Passeggiando nel centro storico di Sarnano è possibile notare dei sottopassi, formati dal un elemento di collegamento tra due abitazioni sui lati opposti di una strada. Queste costruzioni sono note come case a ponte e consistono nell’ampliamento dei piani superiori di una casa fino a unirla con quella di fronte."
The nearest I've come is "skyway", however these seem to be "corridors" connecting two buildings above street level, whereas the "bridge" in my example forms part of the house and is inhabited.

Many thanks!

My idea here is to use Noun + "ED" in order to describe the house.

Example sentence:
"Some of the houses of the old town are built in what is called "case a ponte" (literally, BRIDGED HOUSES) that are constructed over the lane, forming a "bridge" that you pass underneath."
" THE BRIDGED HOUSE design links two existing houses of different ages and styles as one, spatially, aesthetically and spiritually, while keeping the..."
