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 Two contributions are dedicated to the Master of Sommacampagna which, with some unpublished evidences dated to the second half of the fourteenth century, expand the already reach catalogue of this much articulated traveling workshop.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.
