During the same period greater period as that of the Early Gothic Style's blossoming (1820-1860), another technique with reference to Classical architecture came to the fore. This was the North Italian Mode, and it, along with the similar Romano--Tuscan mode, were revivals of Renaissance styles. Here the windows of buildings are arched, and the walls are rarely left unbroken, creating much contrast of light and dark areas. Different orders may be placed on the same façade, with a different order for each level of the building.
