  Loggia \Log"gia\, n. [It. See {Lodge}.] (Arch.)
     A roofed open gallery. It differs from a {veranda} in being
     more architectural, and in forming more decidedly a part of
     the main edifice to which it is attached; from a {porch}, in
     being intended not for entrance but for an out-of-door
     sitting-room.
