Under this prospective, in the carved slab of Colognola ai Colli, in the territory of Verona, and in the sarcophagus of Cella di Ovaro, in Carnia, it is possible to fi nd evidence of this particular aesthetics stimuli, only partially convergent, like for example in the diff erent way of understanding the reference to the ancient. Another similar strict approach of identifi cation and comprehension of the building practice, but within the Romanesque architectural language, is presented in the examination of two important religious building near Garda lake, Santa Giustina at Palazzolo and San Giorgio in Val Policella: the traces left by the ancient desk over the wall sections has made possible to read some unknown construction phases and also assess a working method previously identifi ed only marginally. Two contributions are dedicated to the Master of Sommacampagna which, with some unpublished evidences dated to the second half of the fourteenth century, expand the already reach catalogue of this much articulated traveling workshop. Th e frescoes of Pinzolo, Pavillo, Cassana and Gorno, with their style rigid at times, show the typical aspects of a gothic language which had great fortune in the peripheral area, a wide geographic zone. Th e opposite dynamic instead, meaning the circulation of works of art of small scale, more specifi cally in the area between North and South of the Alps, is certifi ed by the bronze thirteenth century censer of Santa Maria di Gorto, always wrongly considered work of the Adriatic area.

A series of liturgical proto-byzantine structures – main and secondary altars – from Asia Minor are examined in close connection with the liturgical praxis adopted in those regions (Diego Peirano). Th e structural, documentary and critical features of the Baptistery of Santa Severina (Calabria) are analysed on the grounds of the unpublished reports of Paolo Orsi, a pioneer scholar of Southern Italy from Trento (Tancredi Bella). Th e iconography of a fabric fragment kept in Rome receives a new interpretation, thanks to clarifi cations that also help to clarify the chronology (Silvia Pedone). A conspicuous corpus of mostly unpublished or marginally known fragments of liturgical furnishings from Saint Mary in Torcello, is collected and rigorously analysed for the fi rst time, even in relation to the second presbytery fence, still present in the basilica (Diego Valenti). A reconstructive hypothesis is given for an extensively reworked capital from Grassaga, near San Donà di Piave, closely akin to the aforementioned objects as concern chronology and geographical location (Fabio Coden). Two essays concern a group of erroneously assessed or unpublished materials, stored in the deposit of the National Museum of Ravenna and in which the Eastern sources and the progressively predominant Latin style are intertwined (Paola Novara). Th e problematic ceramic basins embedded in the façade of the church of Madonna della Stra' in Belfi ore, near Verona, are carefully explored in order to fi gure out the contacts between the Byzantine and the Islamic world in the Mediterranean and its consequences on the regions of the Peninsula (Marica Menon). Subsequently, thanks to unpublished documents discovered in the archives of the Frick Collection, the four historiated columns belonging to the ciborium of Saint Mark in Venice, are reexamined with a highly critical approach which will reopen the debate about the controversial chronology of these very elaborated sculptures (Maria Aimé Villano). Two essays deal with an enkolpion from Rorai Piccolo (Pordenone) – likely of Russian origin, but with a clear Byzantine style – and concentrate both on the iconographic quality and the interpretation of the complicated ancient Cyrillic epigraphs, in order to defi nitely dispel any doubt on the workshop responsible for the artefact (Fabio Coden and Alberto Alberti). Th e last essay draws attention to the relationship between the equestrian representation of the Byzantine Emperor and that of certain Knight Saints depicted in some icons of the XIII th century, through an in-depth analysis of several details which have escaped even the most meticulous critical studies so far (Andrea Babuin).

L'interesse della critica si è concentrato su vari aspetti di questa struttura, fra i quali è oppor-tuno ricordare almeno la lunga ed altisonante epigrafe ("+ ARTIFICEM GNARUM QUI SCULPSERIT HEC NICOLAUM-HUNC CONCURRENTES LAU-DANT PER SECULA GENTES '''-'"),2 che permette di collegare quest'opera e il suo artefice a vari cantieri della Pianura Padana.3 Solo raramente, però, la loggia monumentale veronese è stata oggetto di approfondi-menti specifici in relazione ai rapporti con il corpo architettonico da cui aggetta e che contribuisce a nobilitare con le proprie slanciate ed eleganti forme.{ Pertanto, attraverso pochi indizi di carattere archeolo-gico e documentario, si tenterà in questa sede di esplorare i complessi, e in parte ancora celati, nessi funzionali fra l'interno e l'esterno del 1.
