About This Book

Il testo offre un esame dell'architettura lombarda e comacina, trattandone le origini, il ruolo dei maestri comacini e il loro modo di lavorare per parti specializzate, che spiega irregolarità formali e al tempo stesso l'unità d'espressione. Descrive forme e elementi costruttivi ricorrenti — contrafforti esterni, nervature delle volte, archivolti multipli, capitelli cubici, piloni poligonali, colonne accoppiate — oltre a porte con ampie strombature, finestre bifore e trifore e fregi di archetti. Si osservano inoltre le scelte decorative, l'uso talvolta policromo dei marmi e alcuni esempi locali che illustrano la diffusione e l'evoluzione dello stile.
