Specialist Notes
Luca Contile (Cetona, 1505 - Pavia, 28 October 1574) was a writer, playwright, poet, historian, diplomat and polygrapher whose numerous works are currently of interest above all for their documentary value. Reasoning remains his masterpiece. "In the first place, Contile distinguishes real businesses from related genres, in which" weapons "," uniforms "," liveries "," shapes "," emblems "," riversi of medals "," figures "and" hieroglyphs ". It therefore leads to a definition of the enterprise, which is a "composition of figure and motto representing a dizzying and magnanimous design", to arrive, through a close dialogue with the authors who had ventured into the same theme, to claim the use of enterprises only to magnanimous and virtuous characters, excluding "those dyed with infamy and the professors of mechanical arts, except the engineers who are at the service of the princes, the excellent painters and the famous statuary" - Biographical Dictionary on line .
