Prospettiua di fortificationi is a 1660 Italian military treatise printed in Bologna by Carl'Antonio Peri for officers and engineers who study the building, defence and attack of fortresses. Its engravings show star-shaped bastioned forts drawn in aerial perspective, with ramparts, moats, and angled earthworks rendered in fine hatched line, offering a designer a clear model for geometric plan views and layered architectural diagrams.
