		Federico had become the most senior soldier in Italy, in command of the armies of the Papal States and Naples, and at the same time, he had been accepted into two international elite chivalric orders while also allying his family with the family of the Pope.
		Federico da Montefeltro's library which he had bought for the Palace at Urbino was famous for the comprehensiveness of the collection, as well as for the costliness of the binding of the manuscripts.
		Federico's military success made long periods of absence from Urbino inevitable, and on the occasions when he was absent, often for months on end, it was Battista who would reign in his stead.

		Federico was born in Gubbio in 1422, the illegitimate son of Guidantonio.
		Federico’s decision risked upsetting a painfully achieved equilibrium, though in the event it generated greater unity among the powers as the alliances were re-examined, and increased his own popularity, authority and prestige.
		The problem of Federico’s relations with the papacy and the emergence of an important state, despite geographical fragmentation and local autonomy in matters of taxation, administration and jurisdiction, have to be explained in terms of what Chittolini points to as underlying the legend of Federico: mercenary contracts, building enterprises, and the court.

	Science at Urbino during the Renaissance
		In particular the Court of Federico da Montefeltro (1422-1482) provided the small dukedom in the "Marche" (an italian area) with an European atmosphere.
		Federico da Montefeltro was a great captain and became famous as a great leader of mercenary troops.
		In a synthetic way we can conclude that between the 15th and the 16th century several and separate scientific schools were set up in the background of the magnificence of the Court, though they were something clearly different from any academic institution: the sciences were always strictly connected to the flourishing business and trade activities.

		Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, from the city of that name, was a successful condottieri, or mercenary, who deployed his wealth in the creation of an elegant and cultured court.
		But what few suspected until now is that Federico da Montefeltro was also a prime mover in the attempt to wipe out the Medicis.

	Marche Voyager - Duke Federico of Montefeltro
		Federico da Montefeltro was born in 1422 to a small-time noble family that ruled over an insignificant square of the chess-board that was then central Italy.
		Yet within sixty years he had become "the light of Italy" and the paradigm of Renaissance man, as skilled in letters as in arms.
		On his death in 1508, the Dukedom passed to the Della Rovere family and Urbino's decline began; the light was finally extinguished in 1631 when the last Duke handed the Duchy to the Papal States - its palace stripped of its treasures, Urbino sank into unbroken torpor.

		Painted for the church of the Osservanti di San Donato in Urbino, this panel was transferred, after the death of Federico da Montefeltro in 1482, to his mausoleum in the church of San Bernardino.
		Federico, shown kneeling at the foot of the Madonna's throne, is portrayed in full armour but without the insignia awarded to him by Pope Sixtus IV in 1475.
		Piero's mastery of proportion is demonstrated by the large ostrich egg hanging from the shell in the apse, whose shape is echoed by the near perfect oval of the head of the Madonna, placed in the geometric centre of the composition.

		The achievement of Alberti, Federico, and the Medici up to Lorenzo may be seen as the effective culmination of Italian humanism, the ultimate realization of its motives and principles.
		Heroes of culture such as Federico da Montefeltro and Lorenzo de’ Medici, neither of whom was a conventionally handsome man, were portrayed realistically, as though a compromise with strict imitation would be an affront to their dignity as individuals.
		The second feature is iconographic - a portrait of Federico and his son Guidobaldo (probably by Pedro Berruguete) that occupies a central position on the wall of the study.

		This is not the case with the Urbino Bible, in which every detail is pleasingly arranged on a page four times larger than a standard modern sheet with some of the miniatures 15 centimetres high and 26 centimetres wide.
		More than a book this Bible serves as a monumental tribute to Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, who created one of the most vital centres of renaissance culture in Urbino.
		The Bible, one of the finest codices in Federico’s library, was written by Ugo Comminelli of Mézières and decorated in Florence in the space of two years (1477-1478) by Francesco di Antonio del Chierico, a miniaturist then at the height of his fame.

		The point was made in the Life by his contemporary, Vespasiano da Bisticci, who said that 'he was the first of the Signori who took up philosophy and had knowledge of the same'.
		His grounding in letters was provided at the Mantuan school of Vittorino da Feltre, that in arms in the even more famous 'school' of the condottiere Niccolò Piccinino.
		His military career was indeed an impressive one, at first followed as a conventional employment for a younger brother, then pursued as a means of enlarging his duchy (to 3 times its size when he succeeded) and of obtaining the money for his expensive tastes as a builder and a collector of manuscripts.

	The workshop
		Located close to the town of Urbino, the workshop is permeated with reminiscences of the historic and artistic tradition of the Montefeltro territory, a setting which supplies an endless font of inspiration and love for execution of highly qualified and exclusive crafts and distinguished craftsmanship.
		Born during the Gothic period, the art of wood inlay flowered during the fifteenth century reaching its zenith in the court of Federico da Montefeltro with the idealization and execution of what is known today as "lo studiolo" or study, an entire environment created of rich perspective illusion obtained through inlayed marquetry.
		Such an environment was found in two of the Duke's palaces, the original acclaimed study still in sito in Urbino and the second, made for the summer residence in Gubbio, now in the permanent exhibition of the Metropolitan Museum in New York City.
