Leon Battista Alberti
Italian architect and author (1404-1472)
Leon Battista Alberti (Italian:[leombatˈtistaalˈbɛɾti]; 14 February 1404 – 25 April 1472) was an Italian Renaissance humanist author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher, and cryptographer; he epitomised the nature of those identified now as polymaths. He is considered the founder of Western cryptography, a claim he shares with Johannes Trithemius.[1][2]
He is often considered primarily an architect. However, according to James Beck,[3] "to single out one of Leon Battista's 'fields' over others as somehow functionally independent and self-sufficient is of no help at all to any effort to characterize Alberti's extensive explorations in the fine arts". Although Alberti is known mostly as an artist, he was also a mathematician and made significant contributions to that field.[4] Among the most famous buildings he designed are the churches of San Sebastiano (1460) and Sant'Andrea (1472), both in Mantua.[5]
Alberti's life was told in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects.

Leon Battista Alberti
After Leon Battista Alberti, it was the destiny of the Renaissance man to never be satisfied. The darting eye that flies and scans from above, that investigates and discovers before knowing, is the symbol that was chosen by the inventor of the Renaissance, a thinker who was interested in and wrote about everything over his long career. A polytropic traveller like the Greek Ulysses, a Florentine exile like Petrarch. Like the latter – and exactly one century later – Alberti came to Bologna to study Law, but he left far more enriched by the men-of-letters and scientists who gravitated around the Università degli Artisti, thanks to whom the old ‘Madre degli Studi’ could still call itself ‘Alma’.
Leon Battista Alberti was born in 1404 in Genoa, the hometown of his mother, Bianca Fieschi, widow of a Grimaldi. His father, Lorenzo di Benedetto Alberti, belonged to a wealthy, powerful family of Florentine merchants and bankers, exiled by their rivals, the Albizi.
After a short stay in Venice, the Alberti family went to Padua (1416) where Leon Battista began to study literature, attending the school of the humanist Gasparino Barzizza along with Francesco Barbaro, Il Filelfo and Il Panormita and became friends with Paolo Dal Pozzo Toscanelli and possibly
