Italian term or phrase: tornacielo
Sto diventanto matta per questo termine...ecco il contesto:

Baldacchino di Clemente VII :Costituito anticamente da un dossale raffigurante la Chiesa, un «cielo» (oggi disperso) con Dio Padre tra angeli e serafini e sette pendenti per il «tornacielo», il baldacchino era usato per coprire il trono papale.

Grazie a tutti :)

side panels
Explanation:
I can't find a technical term for this either but would personally use side/lateral panels which you can't go wrong with. I also found 'drops' but that may be ambiguous as you also have the 'pendenti'.

Alternatively, you could just reword it and say something like: and seven drop panels surrounding/enclosing the 'sky' panel

«pannetti di tornaletto» mit «figure» und «di tornacelo» mit «l’arme et imprese di Clemente VII»;
https://www.zora.uzh.ch/id/eprint/74527/1/Weddigen_2006_Papa...

"tornaletto" equivale a "bed skirt"
"tornacielo" indica l'equivalente superiore che può essere formato da pannelli ecc.

bed sky .... non so se si possa parlare di skirt anche per il tornacielo
