ADAMO OF AROGNO. - Architect active in the first decades of the 13th century. He is remembered by documents as superintendent of the construction of the cathedral of Trent. While remaining fully within the Romanesque-Lombard tradition, he was influenced by the Gothic, which he welcomed and assimilated. The portal with column-bearing lions of S. Apollinare in Trent and that of the parish church of Bolzano are also attributed to him.
