If you look up giacitura (which is shorthand for caratteri giaciturali) in a good Biling. Dict. You will get this. Then simply check it by Googling

It is the position of the rock in the rock strata, how it lies.

strata bedding

Strata bedding

This variable may be very important for the land instability and concerns the strata lay-out in relation to the slope.

Whenever the substrate is not stratified or no data are available the item “doubtful or unknown setting; not applicable (not stratified rocks)” is to be selected.”.

When the rocks are stratified the following conditions concerning the more prevalent strata setting may occur:

“reggipoggio”: strata are oriented in a more or less normal direction respect to the slope;
“franapoggio”: bedding planes are oriented in the direction of the slope (parallel or less inclined);
“franapoggio”: with sloping lower then immersion;
“traverpoggio”: intermediate immersion of rock strata;
sub-horizontal bedding.
The following table encode this variable and put in evidence the possible effects of the stratification bedding on slope stability.
