Alghizi-Galeazzo
, an architect and geometrician
of the sixteenth century, was born at Carpi, in Modena.
He was employed as architect by the duke of Ferrara, but
applied himself principally to the art of fortification. Hia
work on that subject, “Delle Fortificazioni,” divided into
three books, was printed at Venice in 1570, in a most
splendid form, in folio. Modern engineers have been much,
indebted to him. 2
