Federico da Montefeltro
Federico da Montefeltro, also known as Federico III da Montefeltro (June 7, 1422 – September 10, 1482) was one of the most successful condottieri of the Italian Renaissance, and Duke of Urbino from 1444 until his death. In Urbino he commissioned the construction of a great library, perhaps the largest of Italy after the Vatican, with his own team of scribes in his scriptorium, and assembled around him a great humanistic court in one of the great architectural gems of the early Renaissance, the Ducal Palace of Urbino, designed by the architect and theorist Francesco di Giorgio Martini.
