COMACINO -- From Perkins, "Historical Handbook of Italian Sculpture"

Speranza

THE INTRODUCTION OF THE BYZANTINE style into ITALY was productive of important results, for, as it was gradually BLENDED with the CLASSICAL ROMAN, with which it was then first brought face to face, a THIRD GREAT STYLE was formed known as:

THE ROMANESQUE
ROMANO-BYZANTINE
LOMBARD
or COMACINE.
