[/shortdesc]

The thorough scientific analysis, made simple and comprehensible by the expert authors, is illustrated with a series of charming and eloquent images:

- in his essay, Piero della Francesca, Painting and Perspective, Massimo Mussini, art historian and authority on the problems in painting, identifies the artist's practical application of the rules of perspective in his paintings

- Luigi Grasselli, mathematician and expert of algebraic and geometric topology, analyses and comments on the drawings by Piero in his essay entitled La geometria del De Prospectiva Pingendi.

- Massimo Mussini, art historian and professor at the University of Parma

- Luigi Grasselli, mathematician and ordinary professor in Geometry and Agebra at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
