Italian term or phrase: ciabatta di fondazione
I can find no references to this term anywhere. Here's the context:

Esecuzione di muretto di recinzione perimetrale in c.a a supporto di rete metallica plastificata zincata. Dimensioni : ciabatta di fondazione cm. 60xcm.30,muro cm.60xcm.20.Compreso scavo in sezione della profondità di cm. -50 dalla quota 0/00 del pavimento finito; compreso getto magro di pulizia a tonn. 0,15 di cemento tipo 325 spess. cm. 10, C.l.s C20/25 per ciabatta di fondazione e muretto ,compreso carpenteria e ferro lavorato tipo B450C in ragione di Kg/mc. 50,00, compreso la fornitura e posa di rete metallica plastificata zincata ancorata a pali in acciaio zincato infissi nel muretto , h.rete 1,92, h. pali ml. 2,00, passo ml. 2,00.

"Foundation block" or simply "base" is all that I can come up with. Is there a specific term?

Thanks.
