The storming of the fortress of Stampace in Pisa
Giorgio Vasari1568/1571
Palazzo Vecchio Museum
Firenze, Italy
In 1499 the Florentines were able to take the rock of Stampace. The fresco is full of precise detail, mainly due to the fact that Battista Naldini had been sent to the site of the battle to draw a series of sketches and views. Photo: Simone Lampredi
