ca. 1000-1399 - Date Depicted:
- 9/1/1994
500 AD - 1499 AD - Materials:
- marble (white Carrara and green Prato marble)
- Notes:
- Buildings in Tuscany were conservative and followed Early Christian models. An important feature of Florentine Romanesque is exemplified by the striking use of coloured marble inlays to form lively geometrical patterns seen also at S Miniato al Monte, with an interior articulated by the rhythmic alternating system of columnar and quadrilobed piers, the latter rising to diaphragm arches
