Piumaccio: nel capitello ionico, fascia (detta anche rocchello) dai bordi paralleli o leggermente convergenti, che corre verticalmente al centro delle volute nella veduta laterale.
This is all I have I'm afraid and if anyone can help me with rocchello (rather than repeating the same text in a new question) I would be really grateful as I've been stuck on this for a few days now.
Thanks in advance for your help

Ionic column
I haven't worked out which bit it is, but the volute is the scroll-shaped thing at the top.

You could just say the side face of the volute, which is near enough.
