  • Siena was the birthplace of personalities who have left their mark on military architecture, from the Sienese Archimedes, Mariano di Jacomo known as Taccola (1381-1453/1458), to the better known Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439-1501), a leading exponent in a significant phase in the evolution of military architecture, such as the second half of the 15th century, to Baldassarre Peruzzi (1481-1536), perhaps best known for his work as a civil architect and painter, who was also engaged as a military architect on behalf of the Sienese Republic. Giorgio Vasari records in the ‘Lives’ among Baldassarre’s pupils, Anton Maria Lari (1505-1550? ), “a citizen of Siena and a most excellent engineer,” who, with the defeat of the Sienese Republic, which saw him play a leading role in the updating of the fortress of Porto Ercole, preferred to follow the Count of Pitigliano Giovan Francesco Orsini to Rome; “Fu anco suo creato Giovambatista Peloro, architetto sanese, (1483-1558)” who made “the plans of many fortifications”, but carried out his activity as a military architect mainly outside Siena; as well as Bartolomeo Neroni, known as Riccio (1500? -1571), stage painter but also architect of the Republic, engaged in the maintenance and adaptation of its architecture. Literature subsequent to Vasari also includes Pietro Cataneo (1511-1572?), author of a celebrated treatise published in its first draft in 1564, expanded in 1567, or Tommaso Pomarelli and one of his probable relatives, Lorenzo di Francesco, about whom very little is known. This already representative parterre could probably be joined by architects such as Girolamo Bellarmati (1493-1555), and Baldassarre’s son, Sallustio Peruzzi (1511/1512-1572), though Roman by birth. On this occasion we present the initiation of research on the students or possible Sienese followers of Baldassarre Peruzzi, for some of whom news is fragmentary, architects who were able to leave a trace of a Sienese school in the field of military architecture.
