About this book
Architecture, Gothic and Renaissance, is a work credited to T. Roger Smith. A list of terms defines a buttress as a projection built up against a wall to create additional strength or furnish support, and a campanile as the Italian name for a bell-tower.
The text divides the buildings into three groups, the first and most important containing the architecture of Northern Italy (Lombardy, Venetia, and the neighbourhood), the second that of Central Italy (Tuscany), and the third that of the south and of Sicily. Lombardy in the Romanesque period was thoroughly under German influence, and the buildings remaining from the eleventh and twelfth centuries bear a close resemblance to those erected north of the Alps at the same date. The castles and semi-fortified houses of Scotland form a group apart, designed in a mixed style in which the Gothic elements predominated over the classic ones.
