There's enough left in Italy for many trips. Whereas there's no
overarching website for "romanesque" architecture in Italy, there are
regional and provincial sites galore (plus lots that more local in
orientation). Here, in no particular order, are a few favorites (some
of which have contributed from time to illustrative links in comments
on various saints of the day):
Abruzzo romanico:

Chiese medievali di Puglia:

Chiese romaniche del Piemonte:

Romanico sardo (at present, Judicate of Arborea only):

Sardegna. Le chiese romaniche (no pix; useful text):

Le chiese della Sardegna:

20-%20le%20chiese.htm
(watch the wrap!)
A Google search for the phrase "chiese romaniche" (make sure to use the
quotation marks) just now produced 10,900 hits. Most of these have to
do (surprise! surprise!) with churches in Italy. Happy surfing!
Best,
John Dillon
