As far as I’m concerned the French and Italians are Roman. Rome ruled over all of them and all these so call different types of architecture they have are just Roman influence with a spin
Romanesque: An early medieval style that developed from Roman architecture, featuring round arches, thick walls, and often large, sturdy structures.
Gothic: Known for pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, which allowed for taller buildings with large stained-glass windows, creating a sense of soaring height and light.
Renaissance: A revival of classical forms and principles, emphasizing symmetry, proportion, and harmony, with a renewed interest in Roman architecture.
Baroque: A dramatic and opulent style characterized by grandeur, movement, and rich ornamentation, with elaborate and sometimes theatrical designs.
Rococo: A lighter, more decorative and asymmetrical style that developed from the Baroque, using pastel colors, elaborate curves, and floral motifs.
Neoclassicism: A 18th and 19th-century revival of classical styles, reacting against the opulence of Baroque and Rococo with a return to symmetry and the grandeur of ancient Greece and Rome.

Turin’s royal palace is from the 17th century. The western Roman empire had collapsed more than a millenium prior to this. Do you consider the Eiffel Tower a Roman monument too? or maybe a Parisii Gaul one?
You can obviously say that the Roman empire is one influence over western European architecture. But “Roman architecture” is going to imply the style and techniques used by the ancient Romans, and this palace was not built with those.
Pretty sure this is classical architecture, not roman.

But aren’t these just made in the Roman style by French and Italy once they were no longer Rome?

So, Roman
The term would be Latin then.
Roman is specific to the city/kingdom/Republic/empires. Latin is the tern for the culture they had/left behind.
Edit: usually
Latin is the language. Always will be and no one speaks it like that. It was a ugly language

You are either joking or have a massive ego.
