Trattato di architettura

Trattato di architettura is a book on architectural theory by the Florentine Renaissance architect Filarete completed c. 1464.

According to research by Giorgio Vasari, the last two additions to "Libro Architecttonico" were finished in roughly 1464, and his contemporary scholars have determined this information to be correct.

The second section, dedicated to Piero di Cosimo de' Medici, is also known as "Codex Magliabechiano" and contains illustrations.

Filarete is in charge of this work and finds the "Golden Book," a mythical text about the fictional city of Plugiapolis written by an ancient king, Zogalia.

The "Ospedale Maggiore" in Milan, known as "Ca′ Granda", was built by Duke Francesco Sforza in 1456, according to Filarete's plan.
