Wind, overhang on eaves and verges!

Yes - it is for wind lift. Remember, trad Italian roofs have much bigger overhangs on the eaves (the bit which overhangs the 'long sides' of a pitched roof), and also on the verges which overhang the gables. It's also a bit of an aesthetic nicety on more modern roofs - just for the crack, as it were. Not strictly necessary on a reconstructed roof, where the builder will have mortared in the tiles at the extremities, but it gives us somethiing to talk about (and Gubbio is VERY windy!)
