Italian term

le colte

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting 1400s church
It's me again and even more stumped than before.
Modena Cathedral, timeline, states:
"Costruzione delle colte (sul coro già eseguite nel 1444)."

None of my research takes me anywhere.
The only reference I find online is from my own text ... so it's all in your hands!
TIA

could be a typo for le volte?

thanks
agree silvia b (X) : potrebbe essere: in un libro di storia dell'arte trovo: "alla stessa concezione plastica si ispira anche l'interno, che Lanfranco aveva coperto con tetto a capriate (le volte a crociera sono posteriori)"

agree KayW : I think JulesH has got it. The dates seem right and 'c' is next to 'v' on the keyboard, so I think someone hasn't been proof reading.
