Its crowning cornice aligns neatly with the leading edge of the adjacent bank on the corner and the similar monumental nature and restrained texture of the facade make it an important companion to the bank and a buffer from less harmonious buildings further to the west.

ornamental cornice
Cornices are, by definition (upper projecting member of a wall or ceiling) at a high rather than a low level.
coronamento (cap, cope, coping, crown .. none of which I think would applicable within the rather limited context offered here)....ornamental architecture.

Massimo Gaido
: non si riferisce necessariamente ad un cornicione ornamentale (che tu hai tradotto). Il cornicione di coronamento si differenzia inoiltre dal cornicione marcapiano. I am an architect........ciao
