A caliper body of a disc brake caliper of the floating type, wherein said caliper body is adapted to be arranged straddling a brake disc having first and second opposite braking surfaces (4, 5) adapted to rotate about a rotation axis (X-X) which defines an axial direction (A-A), radial directions (R-R) orthogonal to said axial direction (A-A) and passing through said rotation axis (X-X), as well as a circumferential direction (C-C) orthogonal to each of said radial directions (R-R) and to said axial direction (A-A), as well as specifically a tangential direction (T-T) orthogonal to the axial (A-A) and radial (R-R) directions passing through said point, wherein - said caliper body comprises a bracket adapted to connect to a caliper support provided in a vehicle; - said caliper body comprises a floating element slidingly supported by said bracket so as to move relative to the bracket along said axial direction (A-A); - said floating element comprises a first floating element portion adapted to face said first braking surface either directly or indirectly; - said first floating element portion comprises at least one biasing device housing adapted to accommodate a biasing device capable of applying a biasing force to a first brake pad facing said first braking surface to apply a braking action on said brake disc; - said floating element comprises at least a first floating element bridge (12; 13) supported by said first floating element portion and which protrudes straddling said brake disc; - said floating element comprises a plate-shaped portion overhangingly supported by said at least a first floating element bridge (12;13) which extends with a first outer plate-shaped portion side thereof, arranged opposite to said biasing device, substantially on a plane extending along circumferential (C-C) and radial (R-R) directions; characterized in that - said plate portion comprises plate-shaped portion end portions (15, 16) which overhangingly protrude from opposite sides and in circumferential direction (C-C) with respect to said at least a first floating element bridge (12; 13); - said plate-shaped portion comprises a second inner plate-shape portion side facing said biasing device and opposite said first outer plate-shaped portion side; - said plate-shaped portion comprises at least two plate-shaped portion projections (18, 19) which overhangingly protrude from said plate-shaped portion side; - said at least two plate-shaped portion projections (18, 19) comprise thrust surfaces (20, 21) adapted to bias a second pad against said second braking surface; - said at least two plate-shaped portion projections (18, 19), mutually and with said plate-shaped portion, form a plate-shaped portion ventilation channel mainly extending in radial direction (R-R). - said caliper body comprises a bracket adapted to connect to a caliper support provided in a vehicle; - said caliper body comprises a floating element slidingly supported by said bracket so as to move relative to the bracket along said axial direction (A-A); - said floating element comprises a first floating element portion adapted to face said first braking surface either directly or indirectly; - said first floating element portion comprises at least one biasing device housing adapted to accommodate a biasing device capable of applying a biasing force to a first brake pad facing said first braking surface to apply a braking action on said brake disc; - said floating element comprises at least a first floating element bridge (12; 13) supported by said first floating element portion and which protrudes straddling said brake disc; - said floating element comprises a plate-shaped portion overhangingly supported by said at least a first floating element bridge (12;13) which extends with a first outer plate-shaped portion side thereof, arranged opposite to said biasing device, substantially on a plane extending along circumferential (C-C) and radial (R-R) directions; characterized in that - said plate portion comprises plate-shaped portion end portions (15, 16) which overhangingly protrude from opposite sides and in circumferential direction (C-C) with respect to said at least a first floating element bridge (12; 13); - said plate-shaped portion comprises a second inner plate-shape portion side facing said biasing device and opposite said first outer plate-shaped portion side; - said plate-shaped portion comprises at least two plate-shaped portion projections (18, 19) which overhangingly protrude from said plate-shaped portion side; - said at least two plate-shaped portion projections (18, 19) comprise thrust surfaces (20, 21) adapted to bias a second pad against said second braking surface; - said at least two plate-shaped portion projections (18, 19), mutually and with said plate-shaped portion, form a plate-shaped portion ventilation channel mainly extending in radial direction (R-R).
