Ambrogio, and the same pier may be found in the Rhenish Romanesque, and even in the Norman, as at St Peter's, Northampton. At the Cathedral at Arezzo, the pier is cruciform with chamfered edges, and large diagonal shafts occupying the nooks of the cross, and there is a somewhat similar one at Parma.
