Italian description: Il saggio ripercorre lo svolgimento storico della tecnica costruttiva 'a tufelli' dalle sue prime apparizioni, nel tardo XII secolo, fino al suo esaurimento verso la meta del XV, in un'area attestata intorno alla citta di Roma, cui risulta legata da vincoli di natura politico-amministrativa ed economica. L'analisi dei monumenti, ampiamente documentata da fotografie e disegni originali, ha permesso all'autrice di riconoscere influssi locali nell'ispirazione e nell'impiego di questa tecnica e di avanzare nuove proposte ai fini della loro conservazione e del restauro.
