Group III.  
Domes rising from a square base and four pillars. [Footnote 1: The  
ancient chapel San Satiro, via del Falcone, Milan, is a specimen of  
this type.]  
a) First type. A Dome resting on four pillars in the centre of a  
square edifice, with an apse in the middle, of each of the four  
sides. We have eleven variations of this type.  
aa) Pl. LXXXVIII, No. 3.  
bb) Pl. LXXX, No. 5.  
cc) Pl. LXXXV, Nos. 2, 3, 5.  
dd) Pl. LXXXIV, No. 1 and 4 beneath.  
ee) Pl. LXXXV, Nos. 1, 7, 10, 11.  
b) Second type. This consists in adding aisles to the whole plan of  
the first type; columns are placed between the apses and the aisles;  
the plan thus obtained is very nearly identical with that of S.  
Lorenzo at Milan.
