In my unauthoritative opinion...
Apostate Antipope Pascal II consecrated the desecrated church of Sant'Evasio in Casale Monferrato in 1108:
SS Paschalis II - Epistolae Et Privilegia [1099-1118], pp. 237-238

Remnants of the original Romanesque architectural details can be viewed at this site, which would not allow me to copy and paste the images into my post:

On the sides of the right capital, a dragon and a gryphon are depicted facing each other...
On the sides two friezes: fantasy animals beneath a lush vine; a centaur hunting a deer; a fight scene between a hero and two monsters.
