Quasi un secolo più tardi sarebbe stato intrapreso il rifacimento del quarto lato, il Pavaglione vecchio che, ricostruito nel 1879, si uniformava nella struttura architettonica al braccio di ponente ***a doppia corsia.***
The Pavaglione is in Lugo, a four-sided portico. Thank you :-)

double portico
Hi,
I've looked at some pictures and I think the corsia probably refers to the portico. I.e., the portico has four sides, each of which is double.
According to this description:

the market is held here.
Take a look at this old postcard of the Pavaglione - west side:

Comment: "The client backed up your theory Catherine, just like the portico on the west side it has a row of columns running down the middle. effectively making it a "double" portico. So thank you very much, and to Mara and Mimoza for your helpful suggestions."

double corridor/double archade
it could be something like:
double corridor / double archade west wing
or west wing made up of two corridors/archades
I don't exactly know if you can speak of 'aisles' in a portico, if it's possible, that would be another possibility.
let's wait and see someone else's opinion :-)
