Leon Battista Alberti
Considered one of the most important Italian humanists, architects and writers of the Renaissance, with Leon Battista Alberti emerged the modern figure of the architect, who designed works for his prestigious patron. His rich and complex personality is not easy to grasp; he remains in his own way an atypical figure of his time, capable of combining research, studies and diverse interests.
