They typically made pledges and promises of tribute to the Carolingians, but effectively remained outside Frankish control. Benevento meanwhile grew to its greatest extent yet when it imposed a tribute on the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Naples" title="Duchy of Naples">Duchy of Naples</a>, which was tenuously loyal to Byzantium and even conquered the Neapolitan city of <a href="/wiki/Amalfi" title="Amalfi">Amalfi</a> in 838.

Most have been lost, rebuilt, or renovated at some point, so they preserve little of their original Lombard structure. Lombard architecture was well-studied in the twentieth century, and the four-volume <i>Lombard Architecture</i> (1919) by <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Kingsley_Porter" title="Arthur Kingsley Porter">Arthur Kingsley Porter</a> is a "monument of illustrated history". </p><p>The small <a href="/wiki/Oratorio_di_Santa_Maria_in_Valle" title="Oratorio di Santa Maria in Valle">Oratorio di Santa Maria in Valle</a> in <a href="/wiki/Cividale_del_Friuli" title="Cividale del Friuli">Cividale del Friuli</a> is probably one of the oldest preserved examples of Lombard architecture, as Cividale was the first Lombard city in Italy. Parts of Lombard constructions have been preserved in <a href="/wiki/Pavia" title="Pavia">Pavia</a> (<a href="/wiki/San_Pietro_in_Ciel_d%27Oro" title="San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro">San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro</a>, <a href="/wiki/Crypt_of_Sant%27Eusebio" title="Crypt of Sant'Eusebio">crypts of Sant'Eusebio</a> and San Giovanni Domnarum) and <a href="/wiki/Monza" title="Monza">Monza</a> (<a href="/wiki/Cathedral_of_Monza" class="mw-redirect" title="Cathedral of Monza">cathedral</a>). The <i>Basilic autariana</i> in <a href="/wiki/Fara_Gera_d%27Adda" title="Fara Gera d'Adda">Fara Gera d'Adda</a> near <a href="/wiki/Bergamo" title="Bergamo">Bergamo</a> and the church of San Salvatore in <a href="/wiki/Brescia" title="Brescia">Brescia</a> also have Lombard elements. All these buildings are in northern Italy (Langobardia major), but by far the best-preserved Lombard structure is in southern Italy (Langobardia minor). The <a href="/wiki/Santa_Sofia,_Benevento" title="Santa Sofia, Benevento">Church of Santa Sofia</a> in <a href="/wiki/Benevento" title="Benevento">Benevento</a> was erected in 760 by <a href="/wiki/Arechis_II_of_Benevento" title="Arechis II of Benevento">Duke Arechis II</a>, and it preserves Lombard frescoes on the walls and even Lombard capitals on the columns. </p><p>Lombard architecture flourished under the impulse provided by the Catholic monarchs like <a href="/wiki/Theodelinda" title="Theodelinda">Theodelinda</a>, <a href="/wiki/Liutprand_the_Lombard" class="mw-redirect" title="Liutprand the Lombard">Liutprand</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Desiderius" title="Desiderius">Desiderius</a> to the foundation of monasteries to further their political control. <a href="/wiki/Bobbio_Abbey" title="Bobbio Abbey">Bobbio Abbey</a> was founded during this time. </p><p>Some of the late Lombard structures of the ninth and tenth centuries have been found to contain elements of style associated with <a href="/wiki/Romanesque_architecture" title="Romanesque architecture">Romanesque architecture</a> and so have been dubbed "<a href="/wiki/First_Romanesque" title="First Romanesque">first Romanesque</a>". These edifices are considered, along with some similar buildings in <a href="/wiki/Southern_France" title="Southern France">southern France</a> and <a href="/wiki/Catalonia" title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a>, to mark a transitory phase between the <a href="/wiki/Pre-Romanesque_art_and_architecture" title="Pre-Romanesque art and architecture">Pre-Romanesque</a> and
