It's not quite the same as a gargoyle, which is gargolla or gargouille, and is grotesque in appearance.

Gocciolatoio m ‎(plural gocciolatoi)
(architecture) dripstone


Dripstone
(architecture) A protective moulding over a door or window that allows rain to drip away from the structure

Also called a hood mould. There's a picture here:
