The present contribution proposes an analysis of the design of military citadels designed by Jacopo Palearo Fratino, a military engineer in the service of Spain in the second half of the sixteenth century. The results shows a recently PhD research who analyzed the work of the Palearo Fratino brothers through project reviews, study of military treatises, survey and direct observation of the works they produced between 1558 and 1589. The research, based on graphics analysis of project papers and on the examination of design features of the works, highlighted a frequently use of matrices and geometric shapes adapted to the morphology of the site and to the project choices.

Abstract
The present contribution proposes an analysis of the design of military citadels designed by Jacopo Palearo Fratino, a military engineer in the service of Spain in the second half of the sixteenth century. The results shows a recently PhD research who analyzed the work of the Palearo Fratino brothers through project reviews, study of military treatises, survey and direct observation of the works they produced between 1558 and 1589. The research, based on graphics analysis of project papers and on the examination of design features of the works, highlighted a frequently use of matrices and geometric shapes adapted to the morphology of the site and to the project choices.
