Notes:
Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439-1501) was a painter, sculptor, architect, and hydraulic engineer. He worked for the Dukes of Urbino and the Aragonese rulers of Naples, oversaw the aqueduct system of his native Siena, and was summoned to Milan to give advice on the construction of the Duomo. His architectural treatises were studied by engineers including Leonardo da Vinci, who owned and annotated a manuscript of the Trattati.
