ISOLETTA COMACINA

Speranza

A hundred years after AGILULPH's rule, COMACINE masters worked at CIVIDALE, in the district of FRIULI, with the same methods of constructiond, and the same lack of skill in the use of the chisel.

THEIR ARCHITECTURE and sculpture are chiefly interesting as examples of a TRANSITIONAL period, when ROMAN and BYZANTINE elements hesitated in each other's presence before uniting in the ROMANESQUE.
