Francesco di Giorgio Martini's fortress complexes, created at the end of the Quattrocento, continue to look experimental and highly speculative half a millennium later by their semiotic character. This book is an attempt to understand the strangely grandiose semiotic character of these structures. Num Pages: 128 pages, 50 photos. BIC Classification: ACN; AMB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 289 x 217 x 18. Weight in Grams: 872.
