The Architect and Theorist

Sebastiano Serlio was an Italian Mannerist architect, painter, writer, designer, and civil engineer. Born in Bologna, he worked in the atelier of Baldassare Peruzzi in Rome and later lived in Venice. His career was significantly shaped by an invitation from François I to France, where he advised on the construction and decoration of the Château of Fontainebleau. While he took several private commissions, the Château d'Ancy-le-Franc is the only one of his works that has survived in a recognizable way. He also designed fortifications as a civil engineer.

Serlio is known for his practical treatise, Tutte l'opere d'architettura et prospetiva, also referred to as I sette libri dell'architettura. This work is composed of eight books, though only the first five were published during his lifetime. His publications include:
