=== History ===

The Pisan Romanesque style had sprung into popularity, "as if by magic", on a location in Pisa that later became to be known as Piazza dei Miracoli. In a succession, the [[Pisa Cathedral]] (Duomo), [[Pisa Baptistery]], the bell tower (now known as the [[Leaning Tower of Pisa]]), [[Camposanto Monumentale di Pisa]] were erected there.{{sfn | Valdes | Pistolesi | Pauli | 1994 | p=7}} Few pre-cursor structures that exhibited some of the elements of the style can be pointed to (Collareta lists [[Basilica of San Zeno, Verona]], [[San Piero a Grado]], apse of the church of Santa Cristina{{which}} on the left bank of the [[Arno]]). Although these buildings introduced some features similar to the Pisan Romanesque as defined by the Duomo (long rows of blind arches under the [[eaves]], {{ill|bacino ceramics|it|Bacino ceramico}} inside the arches, wall ornaments made of round or diamond-shaped [[coffers]]), their connections to the Duomo, the grand "[[overture]]" of the style, are relatively weak.{{sfn | Collareta | 2022 | p=439}}
