Rifacciate

Rifacciate is the feminine plural form of rifacciata, a noun used in Italian to indicate acts of doing something again, i.e., remakes, redrawings, or renovations. The term conveys the idea of a re-creation or redoing rather than leaving the original unchanged, and its exact meaning depends on context.

In architecture and construction, rifacciare or rifacere (forming rifacciate when used as a noun) can refer to renovation work that refaces or rebuilds elements of a structure. In this sense, a building could have facciate rifatte, meaning facades that have been redone or refurbished. The word thus functions as a descriptive label for projects that replace or significantly alter existing features.

In the arts and media, rifacciate may describe remakes or revised editions of works. While rifacimento is a more common Italian term for remake, rifacciare-based forms appear in some contexts to emphasize the act of re-creating or updating a work, scene, or arrangement.

In publishing and music, the sense can extend to new editions, re-recordings, or re-imaginings of existing material, again depending on regional usage and the speaker’s intent. Overall, rifacciate is a contextual, less-common way to signal that something has been made anew.

Etymology-wise, rifacciata derives from the verb rifacciare, meaning to redo or re-face, with the usual noun-forming suffix. The term is not as widely used as rifacimento, and its precise meaning is best inferred from surrounding text.
