La fabbrica duecentesca di santa Maria Assunta ad Amaseno. Scrittura e riscrittura di un testo architettonico

The church of Santa Maria Assunta in Amaseno (FR) was built in the 13th century on the commission of the powerful Conti de Ceccano. The study of the building’s architectural language and construction history, deduced from documentary sources and direct analysis, revealed that it is a significant example of the reception in southern Latium of French architectural models, mediated by the Cistercians. However, the church appears at the same time to be significant, with reference to the later phases of the building site, of their substantial overcoming at the end of Duecento, when new orientations marked by a formal and structural sobriety emerged in the provinces of Campagna and Marittima.
