This volume presents Leone Battista Alberti's "Gli Elementi Di Pittura" (On Painting), a seminal work in Renaissance art theory. Published with an introductory discourse by G. Mancini, the book explores the principles of painting as understood and practiced during the Italian Renaissance. Alberti's treatise covers topics such as perspective, composition, and the use of color, providing valuable insights into the artistic techniques of the period.

Mancini's discourse highlights Alberti's role in reviving the Italian language during the 15th century, underscoring the connection between artistic and linguistic innovation. "Gli Elementi Di Pittura" remains a vital resource for understanding Renaissance art and Alberti's significant contributions to both art theory and the Italian language.
