Rappresentare l’architettura militare nel Cinquecento. La “prospettiva soldatesca” di Giorgio Palearo Fratino.

The contribution examines the graphical representation of the military architecture in the sixteenth century and in particular the method of description used by Giorgio Palearo, an engineer, in the service of the Spanish Kingdom. He produces numerous designs, from project design to the survey representation of existing structures until a description of the "end of the work" that coordinates in Sardinia (Italy). The study conducted in the course of the Phd research, has highlighted a use by Jacopo and Giorgio Palearo Fratino, of the Treaty of Girolamo Maggi and Jacopo Fusto Castriotto, as a guide for planning the technical and structural solutions and compositional choices but not only; in fact, Giorgio Palearo occurs in a rigorous way, for a description of the strongholds of Cagliari and Alghero, to a method of representation that in the Treaty is called " military perspective ", where the eye in the figure & the compass in the plant, will show you the full consistency of this work, like Captain Castriotto says.
