Here is a nota sul testo.
“ Di tutte le battaglie italiane del ‘400, poche sono state tanto commemorate nella letteratura e nella pittura quanto la battaglia di Anghiari.
Lo studio si sofferma sulle cause e gli eventi che precedettero la famosa battaglia e sui personaggi che vi parteciparono. In seguito dedica un ampio spazio al fenomeno delle condotte di ventura del periodo, descrivendo la loro organizzazione e struttura, la funzione delle varie armi avvalendosi rigorosamente su documenti originali coevi.
Vengono esaminati gli antefatti, gli ordini dei rispettivi schieramenti, lo scontro e le perdite. Per dare una visione quanto possibile vicina alla realtà dei fatti, vengono confrontate le numerosissime cronache, resoconti e studi written on the subject. Finally
heraldry, symbols or signs of recognition adopted by the two armies in battle, represented on flags, giornee, stockings and feathers. This is a very careful and thorough study that relies on convincing comparison between the iconography, the historical sources and original documents of the period, with the aim of giving the reader a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe "uniform" or even used in the armies of 'era, all related to almost a hundred color illustrations and black and white, by the author.
They collaborated on the text, with the development of specific topics Battarra Luigi, Andrea Carloni, Claudio Mancini.

Can Dogs Give People Impetigo

of June 29, 1440 SEALS IN THE HERALDRY OF Oddantonio da Montefeltro

A. Conti
In "Nobility. Journal of heraldry, genealogy and orders of chivalry," September-October 2010, pp. 349-452.

The historical figure of the first Duke of Urbino, Oddantonio da Montefeltro, was crushed by the overwhelming weight of the half-brother Frederick, risen to power after his murder in 1444.
Oddantonio was assassinated just seventeen, when he succeeded his father a few months. Yet such an ephemeral historical presence has left us evidence of heraldic very interesting, somewhat astounding, compared standardization of the heavy documentation found in the more usual heraldry of the family.
And 'what emerges from our investigation on the seals of Oddantonio, accomplished in the state archives of Mantua, Siena and the Republic of San Marino.
One of the new data certainly compared to the consolidated historical publications and heraldry, is that the quartered arms of Montefeltro was already Oddantonio, if not before and not with Guidantonio Federico.
