Photographs of Parma, Milan, Pavia, Bologna and other cities reveal minor peculiarities in the manner of tiling. In some cases courses of imbrices are close to- gether, and the tiles are often crowded in the courses from eaves to ridge. There is no alignment of the tiles, as in Chinese, Korean and Japanese tiling, and the work always seems slovenly done. In Verona, fragments of tiles are inserted in the in- ter-spaces between the rid^e-tiles and their junction with the roof- tiles, as shown in fig. 41. At Certosa and Milan rows of imbrices with their concave faces up- permost are placed between the rows of imbrices in their normal position. In other words, after the roof is tiled in the ordinary way, an additional layer is put on in an inverted position between the rows of imbrices. The roofs are low pitched and this extra layer probably offers an additional security. Beside the normal tile there is often seen a broad flat tile, with lateral ed<res turned up ac- companied by a semi-cylindrical im- brex. This tile is used in Rome, Flor- ence, Sienna, Pisa, Ravenna and doubt- FlG.
