Weaving together social, political, economic and architectural history, this book explores the role of key patrons in Siena's urban projects, including Pope Pius II Piccolomini and his family, and the quasi-despot Pandolfo Petrucci.

This work presents Di Giorgio's codex of machine and fort drawings for the Duke of Urbino, his sketchbook of machines, and archeological sketches in the Uffizi. Illustrated.

The wood paneled chests, or cassoni, painted by Francesco di Giorgio early in his career are thought to represent the pinnacle of his achievements. This monograph treats Francesco’s fifteenth-century cassone paintings in terms of chronology, iconography, and overall importance; included is his Triumph of Chastity, now in the collection of the Getty Museum.
