where it says:

The front center placket is the piece of material on the front of the shirt where the buttonholes are placed. In the past, it was a separate piece of cloth sewn to the front, but today shirt makers often fold the edge of the material to form the placket. It gives the shirt a defined center and makes a clean finish where the shirt sides join to be buttoned. Most shirts have six buttons, or for taller fits, 7 buttons. Other variants of plackets are the Bluff front, Fly front and the Twin Stitching front.

Canolo coperto is a hidden placket - see
