Specialist Notes
Architect and theologian, Giovanni Amico was born in Trapani on 3 February 1684. He studied mathematics, drawing and architecture as a self-taught; he was appointed architect of the Senate of Trapani and engineer of the Heritage of the Kingdom of Sicily. Due to his direct knowledge of architectural works he limited himself to those of Sicily, but dedicated himself to the study of the treatises of Vitruvius, Palladio and Scamozzi. He published the present treatise in two volumes (Palermo 1726-1750), in which practical precepts find more place than theoretical ones.
