Perspective at Palladio's Time and Its Scientific Heritage.

In the Renaissance new disciplines had reached scientific dignity thanks to the accuracy of mathematics. Some of these were: architecture, geography, ballistics and optics. In addition to mathematics there is another connection between these scientific fields; that is perspective as the scholar Daniele Barbaro highlighted throughout his career. The aim of this essay is to deal with the link between perspective and other disciplines to make the reader conscious of the importance that this subject assumed at Palladio's time.
