378 ITALIAN ARCHITECTURE. Tart II. In the richer churches, as at Pisa, a blind arcade is carried round the flanks, sometimes with an open gallery under the eaves, as in German churches, but tliis was far from being universally the case ; on the contrary, it would be diflicult, as a typical example of the style, to select one more characteristic than the flank of the church of Caserta Vecchia (1100-1153) (Woodcut No. 806). The windows are 807. West Front of Bittonto Cathedral. (From a sketch by A. J. K. Gaweu, 1 sq.) small but numerous, and mark the number of bays in the interior. The transept is slightly projected, and ornamented with an arcade at the top, and above this rises a dome such as is found only in Calabria or Sicily. The tower was added afterwards, and, though unsymmet- rical, assists in relieving a design which would otherwise run the risk of being monotonous.
